How about installing this link system at the bottom of the thread as well as at the top?  When you post as often as I do, keystrokes count and extra ones are a waste.  Currently, we need to click on "Go up" and then scroll up to the link.

That is an integral part of the theme that cannot be changed. I'm sure there are other themes out there, which might rearrange that stuff more to your liking, but we won't be changing themes any time soon. Personally, I'm still enthralled by the green 'new posts' buttons, to such an extent that I hate to view the posts, because the pretty green button will go away.

I understand.  The slate gray is disappointing. 

As Gordon Gekko says, "Green is goon!"


...and just who is Amy Thing?

Some tranny?

Of all forum software, I've found phpBB to be quite competent. Though not easy to play with, anyone with a little development sense can modify the themes and features to their liking such as colours, scroll bars, floating, padding, font sizes, etc. It appears you could add the appropriate buttons in the styles.css but unless I had a console to paste the code in (which I don't), I'd be afraid to try it lest everything starts posting upside down.

I've modified this plenty, I think Dig could tell you. But there are certain things that are very basic components of the theme and other things that are easily manipulated. At some point, it's just easier to change themes than make dramatic changes like altering the position of a dynamic menu bar. And yes, phpBB is the most popular forum package around, but I'm very pleased with SMF for a small forum like this. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to go with something just a little different.

I actually have a fairly strong background in application development, having once owned and operated a small software company, and written enough C++ & VB code to have easily fried half my brain. Goodness knows, I'm trying to do the best I can with what little is left.

The three days when French was the default language were most interesting.  I'm surprised that you weren't tempted to give up!

That was Drew's fault.

Sacre drew!
