I installed a replacement for our messages system. It was really annoying me that I have to scroll for a week in long message threads to get to the first unread message. Yes, I am aware it's all white and crazy right now. Bare with me for a bit. Ive been working on this site for 19 hours straight. Imma go to sleep. When I wake up I will fix it.

translation: I am going to lay down for 9 seconds, decide "fuck it" and start fixing it in 10 seconds

or the first thing I said

well I was flying through the restyle til I hit the form fields. This plugin has an awful lot of little pieces to the forms. I'll finish the forms later. I really need to hit the sack. Enjoy the way better message system.

@Mr Burns ~ I'm a work-o-holic brother. I'm trying to get this site to a level beyond all competition. There is a LOT to do.

NOTE: As it turns out the new message system works like a chat. You have to press SHIFT+ENTER to start a new line. Ya know, NOPE. It's got to go. That just killed it. There is a send button next to the box but pressing enter sends. It is officially bullshit in my book, now. I'm deactivating it til I have the time to force it to make sense or the plug-in author realizes that's stupid and changes it. I sent him feedback. It just stated that private message systems should work like private messages not like a chat and I'll reinstall his plugin if and when it stops working like a chat.

Yeah, unfortunately the whole thing with enter directly sending the message seems to be a trend in the UI/UX world for whatever strange reason. And I also second Mr. Burns opinion, resting can be good, the crazy flesh vehicle can only take so much!
