Board or Boards?

I don't think you're an idiot--I just think it's a nuance of usage. I wouldn't refer to the Prospect Heights-specific page that you're looking at as boards, because it's just one page. But I *would* refer to "the message boardS at dailyheights.com" because that encompasses the other neighborhood boards. I guess what it boils down to is that I consider a page with a list of topics to be one board; but most sites that offer a discussion area will have more than one board unless it's really small or disorganized.

the bored...

I too think it's rather lengthy, but I presumed there was a good reason for it. I wouldn't want to get all acronym happy or anything, but making it more concise would be much easier on the eyes! ;-)
