IT Guy, or whomever -
Perhaps the following thread menu could be added to the end of the page as well as having it at the top of the page. When one gets to the bottom of the page that's when one wants to change threads, and it seems unnecessary to have to scroll back up to the top of the page just to get to the next thread.
Existing thread menu:
"[noparse][[/noparse] [url=:doSubscribe('/forums/pop.aspx?w=10&a=1&f=10&m=760&p=1');]Subscribe to this thread.[/url] | Show Newest Post First ]" (shortened by forum software!)
Just a thought to save some time.
Problems with THIS message:
There appears to be a font change from one's chosen font to that of a pasted item, and no way to return to the original font (see directly above). There are apparently special meanings to certain characters which will cause parts of a pasted item to ... disappear! This could be a REAL problem in program listings which are being posted.
Regards,
Bruce Bates

The disappearing text from the copy and past operation is triggered by an HTML anchor tag that is embedded in the link that was pasted. The error can be avoided by ensuring that the link is not enclosed in square brackets "[noparse][[/noparse] ]". This issue should never arise when pasting program listings, since there must be a combination of specific HTML tags and square brackets in the same line for the error to be triggered. I'll report the error to·dotNetBB.
As to the font change, can you provide the steps to reproduce this issue?

btw... I have updated the code to include the thread navigation links at the bottom of the page. We're trying to complete a couple of other change requests before we install the update. Stay tuned.

This is the same data as before, with the square brackets remaining, but if there are any HTML tags in there, I'll eat them. Let's see what it does:

Looks good here! Thanks Jim!
