No new thread button by Mike on 05-03-2004 at 01:31 PM
Ummm...
I dont know if anyone has noticed this but...
When you are reading a thread there is no "New Thread" button at the top of the post but there is at the bottom...
Something small i would like to tell...

lol, pretty dodgy 
i think they should remove the button, so newbies wont post new threads instead of new posts by accident

lol, Chrono's right...why is there a "New Thread" button in threads? It's so...pointless....I mean there's no "New Reply" button on the thread listings page

There was supposed to be a newthread button at the top, but someone spelled the variable name wrong, and instead of fixing it, I deleted it. 
When you're viewing a thread, replying is the important thing, so that should be shown at the top. The new thread button can be hidden at the bottom.

dunno u, but i read threads from top to bottom
So i would prolly click the new reply button down there (i think i have never used the one up at the top)
So """"hidding""""" the button at that place isnt really a good idea

But posting a new thread instead of a reply can be good too... think of how many new members just reply to an existing thread, completely off-topic...
