John, quite a few really good ideas incorporated into this one revamp. The 50-reply thread chunks should help 'load-balance', especially when there are several 'hot' threads, the self-search takes me back some 1057 replies, if I want, the HTML reset will save a lot of headache.
Overall, remarkable. Kudos, and a brew or two, John.
Mine goes back 3,649!
Gee, my eyes and fingers hurt!!
