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.
I'm hoping people will use the Small Talk permanently pinned thread like the old board.

I don't find it confusing at all. I always view it flat, but I'm sure to click on the proper post reply link in case they are viewing it threaded.
As for using the Small Talk board like the old board it's not the same. For one thing it posts the messages from top to bottom so you have to first scroll past all the old messages to find where you are at. This can't be good for the sponsors since all the Flash has not even begun to load before I've already started scrolling down and never even see any of it. The only way that I even noticed the Serge one is when it started making noise, but then I closed the browser window without watching it so that I could kill the sound.
The other problem is Oprano is not a help board, threaded boards are great for this, it is the water cooler chat area so since I only have time to look at one tread per stop we end up talking about board changes in Menstrual Art threads and I never even look in at the small talk thread.
