colors would be anice feature though.
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.
Font awesome?
so are you saying you'll include these lines in the future?

Still haven't figured out quoting? It would be good for people (especially the person you're addressing) to know what "these lines" are.

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.

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.
there now i figured it out.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Try quoting.

Dude. *PLEASE* learn how to quote some context from the message
you are replying to. When you don't do that, nobody can follow
the "flow" of the conversation, and most have no idea what you're
even talking about.
quoting is so 1995. go back in the thread and look!
yeah i believed when we wrote msgs on bbses you had to do that. food for thought.

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.

cool! next on the list is to figure out how to delete the irrelevent lines so you are only quoting that which you are replying to :wink:

If you posted a full link to the .jpg, we'd have an easier time loading it and seeing the image you want to share.. I don't know offhand what rollsafepointingtohistemple.jpg looks like. Sure, I could do a Google image search for it, but honestly I don't feel like it.

Some editors also let you specifically select which lines you want to quote, rather than quoting the whole message.
