Well I seem to be on a functionality roll here lately. I have the following minor changes to report:
1. Latest Posts feature now displays the last person who posted. You asked for this and I "finally" got it figured out.
2. Forum pages updated with "reply" and "new topic" graphic buttons. Users can now start a new thread from inside another topic (provided it's going to be in the same forum).
3. Added a "go to the bottom of the page" button on the topic thread pages. A little easier to click to the bottom of a thread.
I just wanted to alert everyone to these in case they didn't stick-out enough to be noticed right away. Enjoy.
Jim

Thank you, Jim. What can you say about a guy who keeps trying to make a great site better. You really are a great webmaster. Thank you for all of your efforts.

P.S. Thanks for the opportunity to advance to a higher rank with this post. Let me see if I remember this now..."Okay, candy-asses, up and at 'em. Grab your socks and drop your...".
Okay, I think I remember.

I thought those buttons looked new. Thanks Jim for keeping the site 'alive.'

Excellent additions Jim!! All good ones. I especially like the 'go to bottom' thingie, since I changed my display to 20 posts per page sometimes my finger gets a little tired ratcheting down to the bottom of the posts....nice job.
Thx,
Tread.

Another fine example of how the Best keeps getting Better!
Although now I'm beginning to think of this site as the wheel thing...just how could it be improved? :-)

That 'latest person to post' feature is especially helpful to me. Now I don't need to keep reloading a thread to see if anyone's replied yet. I noticed the new graphics in the forums, pretty spiffy! The 'go to bottom' button probably won't get much use from me... I like using the mousewheel. Hee hee...
