I think you have misinterpreted my suggestion. I never said anything about deleting the HTML link. I am simply looking for a way to make this site more readable. Every thread would have a "master link" which points to a subsequent page containing all posts. By doing this, the "master page" is much more readable - a thread would be visible for days instead of hours. For instance, right now instead of seeing 40 CM6000 posts on the main screen, I would see 2 links. Doesn't that make sense? It is how all modern news readers operate. As for the CM6000 treads decreasing, everybody keeps saying that, but I see the opposite trend - they are increasing steadily. --Peter
