Pax clears her throat. "So, Paxboards is a basic Myrddin-style bboard system, at least on-game. You can view the bboards..."

Pax points to post #1 on that board. "Though it isn't the oldest, it was pinned, which shows it at the top. I might change that to pin it at the bottom (where people always look). More on pinned posts later, though!"
Pax says, "Now, I can read individual posts, like that 'This is a test' one..."

Pax says, "...but I can also ask to read an entire 'thread'. There's a @bb/reply function that lets you reply to a given post."

This is another reply test.
I like linefeeds. Don't you?
===========================================================================
Pax notes, threads become much more important in the next part. See, if I hit the website...
Pax says, "...there is a 'Forums' link on the website. If I click on that, I see my same boards as on-game."
Pax adds, "But clicking into the board, you'll see quickly that it shows only the threads, not every single individual post. Threads which have unread posts are shown in bold. Let's read that same 'This is a test' thread..."
Pax points out, down at the bottom you can see part of a reply box, where you can post a reply to the thread. Posting a reply (or a new thread) on the website will trip the 'new post' notifications on game, as well. And reading a thread on the website will mark it read for you on the game, too! This means it's nice and easy to read bboards from the website, even if you can't get onto the game.
