Another thing I'm doing differently that I'm really looking forward to applying to iHub is breaking out my include files into smaller ones and only including the ones I need for a particular type of page. Like message-displaying, list-processing, etc.

One of the problems with iHub is that it uses one enormous include file that has every function that any page on the site might need at some time. Sucker's a 969-line monster! And gets loaded for every page, no matter how trivial the page might be. Not good. For example, the anagram solver doesn't need the functions that parse messages.

I really love getting to do this stuff over from scratch!

I guess the important thing is that you are displaying the absolute message number in the resolved URL. Brad originally used the ordinal method, and that bit him when users posted message URLs that later resolved to the wrong message when a thread got resequenced. That still has the potential to occur the way you are doing it, but only if someone right clicks on Previous/Next and copy/pastes that shortcut, and the thread subsequently gets resequenced.
