Can't believe I'm going to say this, but I agree with OBB. And Bill. This site - especially for a free site - works just fine. The VBB format is common and has been around for years. Many people know how to navigate it. Multi-quoting is not terribly difficult and rarely needed. I do know at least one that does not use it and should. That one person will jump into a thread days after it has started and then make about 3 to 5 posts in a row as they one-at-a-time respond to posts in the thread they only just found. They usually only do this on threads that have a certain, special, will-not-be-named here topic. Simple fix: block that person.

Want a better mousetrap? Go ahead and build it. See if they come.
