I don't suppose it would be possible, on a page listing multiple topics, for topics that only have one page to still list the number of pages, like the topics with more then one page.

Its only so when I'm reading new posts, I can be really lazy and just move my cursor down and click the last number, rather then having to shift my cursor across.

I'm not sure I understand the issue. Are we talking about the topics list, and the little page indicators on the right of the topic column, looks kinda like this:
:o Post Title here---------------------gap here-------------------------1 2 3 ... 9
details here
And you want something like this:
:o Post Title here---------------------gap here-------------------------1 2 3 ... 9
details here
:o Post Title here---------------------gap here--------------------------------1
details here
so you can see the latest posts without moving the mouse? If so do you know about the little orange page symbol and what it does?
I'll represent it here with this :madashell:
:o :madashell: Post Title here---------------------gap here-------------------------1 2 3 ... 9
details here
:o :madashell: Post Title here
details here
If you click that it will take you to the last post in that thread that you have read. If you haven't read anything in that post you don't see the symbol and you can just click the post title to see the first. Does that help with what you want. The other problem with just clicking on the last page is that there may have been two new pages since you last looked at that topic.

Thanks :)

Initially, not a fan. I prefered the old format, but I'll reserve judgement for the moment. I prefered the easy readability of the previous.

But compliments for the work, the graphics are impressive if nothing else.

I am becoming accustomed to it now, and I like it. Not only is it pretty to look at, but I like some of the features. Nice work :D

Yeah a few tweaks and everything has come together nicely.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

The new forum is pretty slick. Thanks for all the work guys!

Regarding all this knee injury talk... for the past year or so, my left (and sometimes right) knee has been bothering me alot. I'm not sure why, but my fiancee thinks it's because I walk with my feet pointed outwards quite a bit. What do you guys think? The worst part is, I just bought my very first standard-shift car AND a brand new bicycle, and BOTH irritate the mystery injury badly.

Try to get an MRI or CAT scan soon, if you can. Trust me, the longer you put something like that off, the worse it can become. If you're lucky, you only pulled something; it can be surprisingly easy to damage ligaments, espescially the older you get. X-Ray won't pick this kind of injury up, unless the person reading it is highly trained, so if it persists, don't ignore it. Seriously.

There was a thing on the news tonight about robotic arms being controlled by the brain.
