Ever since it's been possible to choose a color, I made my "site skin" dark green and it's been that way ever since... I just changed it to blue and it feels like I'm cheating on my wife or something... I'm all nervous and shaking and stuff... somebody tell me it's gonna be ok!

Also, if you haven't done it yet... Change Preferences -> Highlight Author Posts will give the OP posts a yellow background. Much easier to skim a thread looking for updates from the OP.

That happens when you don't read to the bottom of the page before closing it. I.e. the thread is up to page 2. You click the green button and read until halfway through page 1. The system doesn't know how far you read, so it sets the green button to take you to the bottom of the page. If you only want to read half of the posts, use the bookmark button and you'll get a bookmark link next to the thread to take you to that post. |

It does the opposite (goes further up the page than where I left off) on picture-intensive threads. BTW, where is this bookmark button of which you speak? |
