    Thread branches and the "Post Reply" buttons

    Perhaps some of my "Upgrades" comments weren't seen (no response) so I'll (re)post them in their own threads for now.

    The "Post Reply" buttons should be differentiated whether one is replying to the thread as a whole, a branch, or just the latest post in the thread (reflects in the threaded views).

      It'd be a safe bet that they were seen, just some changes aren't easy fixes.

          Most of this particular request should be easy ... simply distinct the button text for the different "Post Reply" buttons at the top and bottom of the reply page.

              it would be, if jelsoft had relesed a .psd file for the buttons.

              In the mean time, please remember Jesse and I both work 12 hours a day, I come home at night and tweak backend code, Jesse does html and other tweaks, somethings just require extra time, or are lower on the list.

                  In the interim between now and a complete fix, I've added a bit of distinguishing text to the alt attribute of the top post button.

                      Ahh, the old axiom ... "nothing's easy".

                      I realize you guys are burning it at both ends. I just didn't see a recognition of the request. Of course, get to these things at your own schedule. I just want to help getting things "right".

                      Thanks Jester ... that's a start.

                          update, I found the psd file for vb3 hidden away in a little corner that required a dna sample to get into...

                              Did you find "the missing glove" while you were there?

                                  Actually, the top "Post Reply" button is 'reply to thread branch', not 'reply to thread'. I'm sure you'll get it right once you have some time to play with it.
