Oh, one other thing that was mentioned by someone else but may bear repeating. The boards here 'flip' or start over when they reach a certain size (like bytes or kilobytes or some computer measurement). So, one day it is possible to go to a board, and it won't be the same board with the same posts as before.
Usually, the most recent posts are carried over, and no threads are lost, but it can be a shock because it may be only the last post in a thread that is carried over.
Near the top of each board, just before the posts start, there's a list called "Previous Periods" and you can click on the last set of dates to get to the board that existed before it flipped or started anew.
Sometimes that is confusing.
