I guess you have noticed I have made some changes to the board again....
The pages with the + (or without) are just there to indicate if there is a reply to the post, or not. The page after the post when clicked makes the first couple lines of the post appear in the index as a preview feature to see if you are interested in reading the post...
There are more new features you didn't mention, like the "Forgot your Password" link which will allow you to change your own password, and the trouble ticket link that will allow you to send me an email about a problem with the board. Then on the post message page there are the new clickable smiley code, and there is more to come as I get it worked out...
