Remember when the Mac first came out, and it became possible to mess with things like graphics and exotic fonts? Every damn company newsletter ended up looking like a circus poster until people got a grip.

I'm sure lots of people like the idea of a communications system that allows you to imbed holographs or have a musical background while your ideas dance across the page in many colors.

I'm old school, and communicate best verbally (I also prefer watches with hands and no silly-ass functions). The simple tree structure with the color changes on things I had read seemed to be a very effective way to follow an ongoing debate. I am probably missing half the things going on now. I manage after a fashion.

Is there a way to make the threading default to "oldest first" for all boards?
