This version of the site is so much better on mobile I love it

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I’m reading the source code, and I’m having trouble making sense of it.
Ruby on rails definitely takes some getting used to, but it is really powerful, especially for an old-school website like this one that doesn't use javascript.

Too many layers of abstraction. I’m a close-to-the-metal kind of guy.

In both the Home Page and the Message Center, the threads should be sorted by last post date.

Super fast!
Would it be possible to put a Read New button down the bottom of the page, maybe next to the First/Previous/Next/Last/Recent buttons?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Yup. I don't think it is practical to add 'Message Center' and 'Read New' to the button bar with 'First ... Recent' because it won't shrink down well on mobile. But maybe I could add a second bar under it with just 'Message Center' and 'Read New'.
ION, I have now secured a certificate for buffistas.org so https://www.buffistas.org is now an encrypted connection. That means I will need to take the board down sometime tonight to switch to the real domain name. That's a bit too much to try to slip in while waiting on stuff at work.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

This (or some such solution) would be great - I'm realizing now that I'm using the new board for real that I never realized just how much I depend on those two for 98% of my mindless zombie-mode board reading.

I added a very short and simple about page. In large part I just wanted to demo how pages work for admins.
