This system does have quite a few options for how it is displayed
At the navigation bar near the top of the index page is "My Preferences" that can make the BBS look much like other systems. You may like the "Compressed List" list style. This lists just the topic head and provides information on new messages in the thread. Try playing around with the preferences to see if there is something that works for you.
The default display is "Threaded List", "Single Message", and "Mixed Order"

: (difference with the other ones I'm used to) since sometimes a
: conversation could trigger lots of responses, and they'll be all
: at the top, requiring to scroll down several pages to find new
: conversations (this is a case in which the forest doesn't let me
: to see the trees, I'm sure I'm missing lots of interesting
: discussions because of this).
