Frankly I'd migrate it to new software, but then all the moaners would be complaining about no flat view (which forums seem to have dropped from their feature list these days),



If Tree dummies want to waste their time clicking on each individual header to read the comments within that's fine by me.

I don't see many forums that have dropped flat view. It is more the other way around, tree view is a remnant of early basic messageboard software. But softs like vbulletin offer both modes plus a hybrid mode, but I don't think you and the other c^nts who prefer tree view would like the way it is implemented.

Vbulletin would save you a lot of admin hassle however and offer more User protection of emails and IP because of its security features.
