UI change

didn't y'all relocate the post new thread button elsewhere in the last rev of the PHP ware?

we seem to be having a whole bunch of new threads posted when people meant to hit the reply button

I think having those 2 buttons so close together at the bottom of the thread is the culpret

making the post new thread button flush left & the reply flush right might fix the problem

The New Thread button didn't used to be there.

Mea Culpa.

I didn't realize it 'till now, but you're right. Unfortunately, y'all will just have to adapt. Hacks to the standard system really are difficult to maintain thru repeated upgrades.

well then we are going to need to coin a mysterious acronym for the condition
and annoy the culprets when they commit the foul

running a slight style mod on a PHP board isnt too difficult

the new rev search inside a forum "feature" at the bottom is cool

Agreed. Same with answering an email stating, "Why can't I log in?", "Is the board 'broke'?", "Why can't I post?". Unfortunately, when you have to do it repetitively, or recheck code with each upgrade to make certain the old hacks will work, it becomes a real PITA.

One of the few screw ups I haven't done.......yet.
I read the buttons.
Is that wrong?

Seems like every board is a little different and I have to read em.
