I have a suggestion that I think would benefit the first time visitors here.  If the default viewing were set to nested when a visitor or new member landed on AgTalk, it would be so much more readable from the beginning.  They would open a thread and see it all without having to try and figure out how to get around.  I have promoted this site to several and some of them have not seen the entire thread because they didn't catch on to opening each post.

I like to link various posts to emails when something helpful can be shared that way.  A few times when I have inquired on follow up I have discovered that the visitor didn't see all of the thread, just the first post.
