   Although I don't use TB - I use Turnpike - I have notes somewhere on how   
   to make TB look like TP; one is the addition of an add-on that colours   
   multi-level things to make it easier to see who posted what. (Which TP   
   does by default.) If you like, email me and I'll try to dig out the   
   notes. (IIRR, the add-on involved dates from when TB version numbers   
   were in single digits, so you have to fiddle, but the notes cover that   
   too.)

   (Yes, I've saved the installer for whichever is the last one that works   
   with lots of old add-ons, in case I ever have to switch to it.)
