Hi Jim,

I think I saw this board before, while going through some script sites.  Not
sure why i didn't notice the "threaded" button on their support forum.

Looks like I gotta decide from 4 different forums now.  I emailed all the
script writers too see if they'll be implementing my suggestion(s).

Thanks for the reply,
- Will

P.S.  For some reason I think slashcode looks more like it's for news sites
and not really general disscusion.

Summary of forums I've found and my grub with em.

$free
phorum: http://www.phorum.org/
 - lacking logins

$free
w-agora: http://www.w-agora.net/
 - lacking quick change from flat/threaded view
 - lacking quick links to next/prev msg

$100US
wwwthreads: http://www.wwwthreads.com/
 - lacking quick links to next/prev msg
 - better thread/flat mode change (compared to dcforum)

$69US
dcforum: http://www.dcscripts.com/ (eg. www.animeondvd.com)
 - lacking quick links to next/prev msg
 - somewhat non-intuitive thread/flat mode change
