Wow, I just realized something....unless I'm mistaken, W3T defaults to NOT to "show all" postings in flat mode!
That's really bad! Many newbies will fail to notice the "more" buttons in the footer, and there's a very strong instinct that "bottom-of-page" means "end-of-information".
If there's some technical reason it shouldn't default to show all, how 'bout putting a great big "MORE", centered and all by itself, right beneath the last message? the current page listing, on quick glance, looks like just footer stuff (there's a whole lot of stuff down there).
