Can't you do something about the thread started by Mr Number maker.. It nearly takes up a full page to get on to some more interesting threads... Like compress it?? Or just give the thread a forum of its own. lol..
Best thing is switch your view mode if you make it flat it compresses all threads see the box at the top right of the main BBS page and change from threaded to flat Then if you prefer the threaded mode change it back tomorrow when people have got bored with it
