...to change what you normally view on the Chipboard. At the top of the page, just under MESSAGE INDEX is a row of selections: Post New Message, Search, Set Preferences, etc. Click on Set Preferences. Once there, you have a variety of choices on how you can view the messages. One button allows you to choose simple, alphabetical, compressed string, etc. You can also choose sort order (what UBB sort is, I cannot imagine). Try experimenting with the various views and you just might come up with something that suits you. Hope this helps...
