Nothing big, but...


1. Position of the "New Thread" button IMO is OK, but could "Post Reply" button be moved next to the "Report" and "Quote" buttons?

As is it now, if you're in the middle of the page you have to scroll up or down to click on the "Post Reply", which IMO is unnecessary and unpractical.

Also, IMO "Quick Reply" button should be next to already mentioned buttons, so that when you click on it, it takes you to the bottom of the page where quick reply's window is now positioned.


2. Could "Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread" window be replaced with/like the menu and added to the menu bar next to the "Thread Tools", "Search this Thread" and "Rate this Thread" menus, because IMO currently it's position is bad.

Also, I would recommend changing the title to "Users viewing this thread" because it is logical if they are viewing this thread that they are currently active.

1) We actually used to have a post button there, but since we don't do threading it seemed to confuse members more than help. If you are using FF, the home and end buttons will quickly get you to the top and bottom of a page.

2) What do you not like about the placement of this (very small) box? I actually removed it completely a while back, but we were inundated with requests to bring it back, so I promptly did.

1. I can't see how it could confuse someone, I mean "Post Reply" is a post reply. As I said, it's my opinion that it would be more practical for everyday usage for that button to be placed where it was before, as you said.

2. I don't like that box being at the bottom of the page and as I said, if we have "search", "rate" and "tools", why not add "users" too to the bar, I think it's appropriate place and I'm not surprised that it's been requested to bring it back, because I also like to see who is reading a certian thread sometimes, well "usually" is a better word.

Thanks for listening!
