Dennis, a much better version for sure!
The only suggestion I would offer is a way to show more than just who posted and when.
The 'original' format showing the 'messages as posted' seems to be an easier to follow format.
Best of luck.

One thing I could do is where I show who posted and when, for the most recent message show the full content, then the balance of who posted and when. What I found in the old foramt was that when someone replied to a 50 message thread it was too overwhelming for the mobile format.

I think that would work out ok.
The part that's a bit of a PITA is that you can't see the 'thread' format, you have to go from the index, to a message, back to the index, go to the next message, etc., very tedious.
If there was a way to open the thread in a continuous string as happens now on the 'regular' board that would be much easier to read IMHO.
Either that or an RSS feed that the mobile device could access.
Best of luck.

Murf, please don't mess this thing up for us in the "Geezer" category. I'm lucky to know which button turns this thing on let alone any of thse gizmos you "Kids" carry around now. Most of you have to be lost staring at that itty bitty screen while walking down a sidewalk.
Merry Christmas.

Frank, you're safe, and so is the Tractor Point you know & love!
What Dennis has up & running is a duplicate site basically, but without as much graphic content so the new compact computers (they really are much more than just phones now) can more easily & faster access the board.
As for the itty bitty screen, it certainly is that, however, it is also a fully functional computer that fits in the palm of my hand or shirt pocket and does everything my full-sized laptop does and more.
In fact, my 'old geezer' (but don't tell her I called her that) Mother wants one for Christmas. You joke about which button to turn it on, there isn't even that, and with a single touch of the screen I have Tractor Point, my email, etc.
Times change Frank. You don't have to start the pup motor first to get the tractor going any more and computers are progressing too.
My gal had a laugh with her folks on the phone the other day. They got an email from me at a time they new I had said I would be flying, in fact I was on my way to pick her Dad up. She confirmed that yes indeed I was flying, that I email, text & talk on the phone while flying quite often.
Best of luck.

Murf;
Hey, thanks for all the update on what's happening in the world of electronic gadgets, or may be I shouldn't call them gadgets anymore. They are tools of the trade now, and I'm certainly not against progress, All my kids use them in their trades like I used John Deere tractors in my trade.
Please keep one hand on the stick, (if they have sticks anymore), while you are looking at that itty bitty screen, we'd miss you around here.
Merry Christmas. Frank.

Thanks for the kind words Frank, and a Merry Christmas to you & yours also.
They do still call them sticks or yokes depending on the style of controls.
I don't worry about technology and progress too much though, the plane I fly normally was built in 1953 and I firmly believe it's as good as anything built today. It sure is a bunch more roomy too!! It's like a '53 Chevy with wings! 
I do have a form of autopilot though, for when I need to look at the itty bitty screen, or take pictures. I do that lots.
Look Ma, no hands!!!!
Best of luck.

Hey Murf,
Let me know how you like my latest version, at least I eliminated the back and forth to the index.

Much better Dennis!!
That's a big improvement in how it works, at least on my iPhone anyways. I'm not sure if there's a difference in the formatting for other 'smart phones' or not.
Best of luck.
