    http://bbs.synchro.net/?page=001-forum.ssjs&sub=sync&thread=4246

    None of the buttons on that page are currently sysop (or user) configurable.

    Technically they could be altered by modifying the javascript file that produces them. I will not help with that, though, because I know it would bring both of us to a place of frustration.

    Are you hosting this web interface on your own BBS (even though you linked to DM's board)? What changes were you hoping to make, and why? If it's something useful I might consider including it in the web UI or making it configurable.

    That's ec's web interface, so that question is best for him. It appears to be something from bootstrap (glyphicon*), but I don't see a related image file.

    colors would be anice feature though.

    That's technically doable now, with entries in web/root/css/custom.css like so:

    a[title="Jump to oldest message"] {
    background-color: firebrick;
    }

    a[title="Jump to previous message"] {
    background-color: red;
    }

    a[title="Direct link to this message"] {
    background-color: aqua;
    }

    a[title="Jump to next message"] {
    background-color: lime;
    }

    a[title="Jump to newest message"] {
    background-color: forestgreen;
    }

    Using the title selector is pretty clunky, so when I get around to revising the forum I'll come up with better identifiers for these elements.

    The icon set will probably always be somewhat limited and I've chosen what strikes me as the best one in each case, so that's not likely to become customizable.

    And this probably goes without saying, but you're not stuck with the colours I used in my example above. Search the web for "CSS colors" to find lists of friendly names that you can use in your CSS file. Add "hexadecimal" to the search terms for somewhat more flexibility.

    No, that's not what I'm saying.

    The lines I provided could be added to your custom.css file. That file doesn't exist by default and never will, so these lines can't / won't be included. It's up to the sysop to create and populate this file if they want to add custom CSS to their site or override the default styles.

    What I'm saying is that there is currently a way to style those buttons somewhat, but it's not super flexible. I will probably make it easier to do in the future, but it will still involve creating / editing some CSS rules, because website.

    Not that I remember.. I don't think there has been a very easy method to go back and look at the thread. Synchronet has ways to browse through the thread, but sometimes you have to go back multiple messages to find the right one, and then you'd have to make your best guess about which one someone is replying to. Quoting has been around for a long time though, and from what I remember, people have often quoted the part of the message they're replying to.
