Your link is broke, dude...
The short shall inherit the earth. Just you wait. You won't see us coming. We'll pop out from under tables, beds, and closets in hordes. So you're tall, huh? You won't be so tall when I chew off your ankles. Mofo

Much better. You can see everything, plus it's just one shift-tab to get to reply (in IE), instead of the current 27 or so

[edit]
ok, either I'm insane (not unlikely), or you changed the picture in the split second while my back was turned. I much prefer all the UBB buttons on the left, for the reason stated above. I know there's a general dislike of internet explorer on these boards, but I find it very stable and comfortable (in OS 9, at least), and it's a far sight better than Nutscrape, both in compatibility with most pages, and in innovative features like option to tab through links in addition to text fields.

I used to use Nutscrape for the sole reason that microsquash was evil. But now Nutscrape is owned by AOL-TWalalskdfj, which is equally evil, plus it (the browser) blows. I don't understand why people use it....

I like the "Reply" button next to the text box.

if there are all those options to check the reply button should be the last thing so you can read the options before you hit reply.

Here was the one I proposed last week in that first "UBB 6 Upgrade" thread.



Similar, but I like the smilies on the left better.

God no! The clear is a nightmare waiting to happen. I think I hit it once (only once, thank god) by accident and the whole thing went bye-bye. Select-all, delete and it does the same thing. Please! Do not put the "clear" back.

Oh, and I like the "reply" button directly under the text box as oscar has it.

Gosh. With an 80 by 600-pixel screen, I could not bare scrolling left and right!

Anyway, I like Xeo's. The "Add Reply" button should be below everything else.
