Hi Louise - You can toggle your view of the message boards so that threads are either collapsed or expanded. That way, you can sift through just the subject level posts and if you're not interested in that thread, you can quickly move down to the next top level post. When you're in a forum, towards the top right of your screen you'll see buttons that say "expand" and "collapse". Try using both those buttons to see the different board views.
I strongly prefer that people stay on topic within a thread - this means that some threads can become very long. But this is far, far preferable to zillions of short threads that are all on the same topic. That makes for a very annoying (and repetitive) board. I'm also more than happy for people to have a lot of information within a single post - again, that keeps the board better organized and more functional.
So, change your view of the screen, and you should be able to simply skip over the long posts.
Best,
Heather
