Slade, Jackie, Alienz - great job getting this up and running again so quickly!!
I know you're probably on it, but a couple of things came to mind:
I've discovered that many people aren't that code-savvy, so mebbe we can have a tinyMCE editor or suchlike for messages so formatting/linking etc is not so dificult for non-coders.
(I know there's a link for how to do this, but I guess you know what I mean
Perhaps you should block people using PHP code in the messages - security
The suckerfish menu JS that you've commented out is looking for a UL or DIV with the ID = suckerfishmenu. The whole idea of the suckerfish menu is that it does use CSS settings. I can help you fix this easily.

last post jump!

I will repost this since Jackie nuked it.

On the old forum in the discussion list there was a spot next to the topic that listed who posted last and when and next to that was an arrow. If you clicked on the persons name it took you to their profile and if you clicked on the arrow it took you to the last post. The new forum always takes you to post #1 in a discussion. This isn't a big deal on the 10-12 post threads but things like the porn post could be crazy. I see when you open the thread you can click on a last post button from inside the thread. It would be easier if it could be done from outside the thread though. My .02.

Edit: I was thinking that this might quote your post - Is there any way to do this?

Edit: This is still a bit clunky as it requires you to actually copy and paste the text you wish to quote, wrapping the text with a [quote=somename] Here is the copied text [/quote] tag

Jackie: you could create a CSS style to outline the quoted text like this:

div#forum-comments div.bb-quote {
background:#666;
color:#fff;
padding:5px;
border:1px dotted #000;
}
