Not intending to start a stampede of 'Iwants' here, but I would like to see post replies following a logical course.
I.E. 'Problems with site (please read) Dr. Bob 12/29/98' is followed by 'Re: Problems with site (please read) racer 12/29/98'. The next post, 'Re: Problems (read only if technically minded :-) Dr. Bob 12/30/98', is actually an answer to the second post but shows as a reply to the original post. For some of us it can get a bit confusing who is talking to whom with it the way it is.
The original post is left aligned, all of the subsequent posts are one tab over. I have seen this same script on many other boards, and somehow they make each post 'tab' over directly under the post it is supposed to be in reply to. Dr Bob's would be left aligned, then racer's would be directly below it and over one tab as it is now. But then Dr Bob's reply to racer would be directly below the racer post and spaced one tab further over, etc. If I came along and replied to the original after that, it would still be tabbed only one over from the original and would be easily seen to be a reply to the original.
