Yeah, I noticed that they removed the next page button -- that is annoying indeed.

Any idea if it can be found in some options?
Altho Blind Mind forums never had it - but they were running 2.0 RC from start I think.

PS. If it can't be found... it will be missed and remembered;)

Hmm, most SMF posts make like it never existed, which is odd.  Can't see any references to it, but I know I remember it.

It's not perfect, but the old Arcen theme works well enough and has the previous/next page links. :)

it is missing the editor for the post markup, though.

And sadly quotes are getting broken badly on it.

Wicked!  Thanks for that, Flatline.  ;D

Added it in, and looks like it works like a charm. :)

Well, slick!  That's a config screen I hadn't even really found yet -- thanks for the tips!  I went with a space instead of a . on the site slogan, and that actually removes the SMF logo, too.  Pretty nice!

Good grief!  Is that an actual theme, or is that just a mockup screenshot?  That looks really great, at any rate.  My problem is just not having a lot of time to devote to things of that nature at the moment, but I love the look. :)

Good point -- set it to 600x400, that should work okay.

If you have that theme in hand and don't mind sharing... I wouldn't mind that at all. ;)

Just FYI, I'm going to have limited access to my regular computer for the next week or so.  Which is going to make doing things like updating the forums a bit more difficult during that specific timespan.  Not a lack of interest, but just as an FYI!

Code: [Select]
// Show the first page. (>1< ... 6 7 [8] 9 10 ... 15)
if ($start > $num_per_page * $PageContiguous)
$pageindex = sprintf($base_link, 0, '1');
else
$pageindex = '';

Heh.  Is that what the actual SMF code/comments look like?  The last time I had the misfortune to dig into IPB to fix something, it looked like it had been written by lolcats...

Things that would make this new forum better:

-Ability to see markup tags in the  message writing window

-ability for the right mouse button context menu to appear when clicking on the body of a message writing window. Notice that if you right click on empty space, you get a different menu than if you right click on text itself!

Both of those work just fine for me, but that may be because I've reverted to the old theme, at least partially out of being too lazy to look for a SMF theme I like more.  I suppose I also have JavaScript's ability to mangle context menus disabled in my browser, too.

Any chance of getting the old favicon back instead of this current thing? (Which appears to be either a deformed windmill, or a pile of pudding bearing a crucifix.)
