i miss some things about the old board too Cleo.
But i just checked out that Netsurprise board and it's too confusing, it's either an unthreaded board or a threaded board. You can't do both even if the software will let you display it both ways.
If fact i bet this software could easily be modified to spit out all messages unthreaded, it would be a mess though.
I'm hoping people will use the Small Talk permanently pinned thread like the old board.
Lots of people like this new board better, some don't like it at all, lots of people in between.

Not to go off on a rant here: Theres lots of room for growth and change for us with the new board format - the software is being revised, and there are a myriad of "hacks" that other users have written for it. We ARE working and researching to bring more features to everyone at Oprano, but the biggest problem is time. It just takes time. Time to study the OOP format the board was programmed in and how all the templates and php pages work in concert with the database to "present" the pages, Time to track down and implement the right "hacks" from 3rd party programmers. Time.
For me, development at Oprano is a "when I can get to it" sort of thing - I have a full-time job that requires most all of my day. My full-time job is NOT working on Oprano. I try to squeeze in what I can when I can for Oprano.
And you're bang on, Mutt - Lots of people DO like this new board better, and some don't like it at all. This is what we've got, and we're going with it.
NOW, as far as ART goes, JR - I think for the most part its subjective and entirely up to the "consensus of the times". Most people think Picasso is art. You have to remember that art is a "personal" expression - that is, it is that person's expression of feelings or emotions of his perceptions.
And that being said, its only "art" if some moron is willing to pay for it!
