Does anyone ever read anything but the first page of posts? I just discovered there are 36 pages going back to June!

Well, that IS the downside to this 90's vintage forum editor
Most other forum platforms have an index with the names of all the threads on one side of the page, and then you click that thread title to open the thread up.
There can be thousands of posts in that thread, but the thread is still there to see for quite some time till new threads chase it over to the second index page.

If you don't like this site, simply ask for you money back.

methinks you missed the point
I never said I hated this format.
I never said I was complaining about this format.
I was making a statment of fact to directly answer the question the poster asked.
It's a fact that less and less places that host forums are using this 90's version of a nested thread editor.

Not a downside at all!

Actually, for that reason, this may be the better format for this board than the "improved" approach. Once subjects have been beaten to a pulp, they disappear to our back pages. But undead threads stay around like little zombie kids when you've got a lot of different threads hanging around at the top of the page.

Because most sites have figured out that it is incredibly annoying to have to load a new page to read each reply to a post. There is freely-available open source software that has a better interface... maybe someday Radio-Info will use it.
