I vote to nix the post within a post feature. But let's play with it a while. We might come to find it indispensable. I don't know yet. Feedback is needed.
I've added another plugin that lets you do a sort of sub-headline to your post title. Look at the Bookshelf or Videoshelf and you'll seen an example. Used judiciously (and not gratuitously....don't just put things there just because you can), I think it is a nice feature.
When creating a new thread, you'll see a box underneath the thread title that gives room for a further description.

I agree with you. I find it is harder to keep up with everyone's comments if they are posted this way.

A very good point. I was looking back, and noticed that Brad had responded that way to one of my earlier posts. But it was pure chance I saw that. If there were some sort of indicator that there was such a response it might work. But otherwise, who knows? Someone might make such a response to an older post, and you'd have to look a long way back to find it.

I like what you have done with the blue and green lettering for the titles of posts and how long ago updates were made. They are easy to read and attractive. The different scripts are also helpful in order to immediately see which is post and which is time of update.

Glad you like it. I finished going through the 35 pages of plugins that are listed at the ProBoards site. That one caught my eye and I thought I'd try it out. I think it does make work for its purpose and I'm glad to have some feedback on that. I messed with the colors a bit. "Green" sort of seemed "go" to me for the post within the last 24 hours. Then I went a sort of goldish yellow. Blue would conflict with the blue that is already there. And red would just seem wrong.

I find the yellow difficult to see.

There is a new feature (hidden at the moment) that presents a pop-up list of templates. Right now it's set so only the Admin (me) can see it and use it. It it set to show up in the Movies, TV, a Books forums when creating a new thread.
The point is to be able to easily choose a template. As you have surely noticed, I've fashioned a template for my book and movie reviews. The point of these templates isn't to create more work, or even to be super-anal in regards to organization. It's to help make reviews easier for people to get something out of.
My templates will likely evolve a little as I go on. But this template menu can be enabled for anyone who would like to use them, or to just see them. There's notway for you to add you own templates. But if you had a specific format that you wanted to reuse, I could add it in there and name it accordingly (such as "Lynda's Book Reviews, etc.).

Something got screwed up in regards to Gibbnonymous' sponsored American flag. I think I've fixed it now.

I've noticed that the The Lobby seems to be stuck in some old items from the beginning of August. It won't go later even though I know there's much later material. It was there a few days ago, so I don't know what's happened.
