have BGAFD thought about moving to a different type of message board? something like invision or phpBB. there a lot more user friendlier, have a lot of better features and is a lot more secure.

Because the other types of boards display all the messages when you click on the link they will use more bandwith, and thus increase server costs. I think.

How do you set it to 'flat view' so I can see all messages in a thread?

just below this message you should see a link: 'Flat View'. click it.

fwiw, my preference is to have the main page in 'collapse threads' mode and the posts page set to 'threaded view'.
