alt + left arrow is "back" in most browsers (or apple + left arrow on macintosh) 
 
...which doesn't mean i won't do it, just, this is just a request for a hyperlink to go back, right? 
 
backspace also goes back! 
 
Although after posting, you're placed at the bottom of a forum thread after a page you probably don't want to back up over (the one with the post you just made typed out in the box). 
 
wait, not all people use mouse side buttons for back/forward? 
 
Seriously, what else are those side buttons for? 
 
For playing Diablo 3, as Jay Wilson said in 2008! 
 
Oh, yeah, those too. but backspace when it's touchpad time. 
 
basically what we're all saying is you have options 
Having The Buttons At The Bottom 
Would help when on other devices, not PC.

I specifically have those keys set to do nothing in web browsers because I use them as push to talk keys in VOIP programs, and it's annoying as fuck to keep changing webpage while I'm talking to someone.

But that's a bit off topic.

Just because a shortcut exists doesn't mean you should not put links where they will be most useful. When I get to the bottom of the page is when I am likely to want links to other parts of the site. I don't think it would make the site's design look awful either. 
 
It's "a" shortcut ... there's, like, 8.

No, not just a request for a link back. Most forums have some kind of way to navigate around the site at the bottom of the page since you're generally reading top to bottom. It's a usability thing.

Again, not a *huge* deal but it would be a nice thing to have if it's not a huge undertaking to implement it. 
 
Where can I read about the forum codes used here? Like how to do text urls, like I see everyone but me do.

Searching 
How do I find stuff on this forum? Also there's no pm system or a way to look back at your own posts and stuff? 
Ctrl+F

Thread Info Gets Split If Too Long 
Could look nicer if it were all moved onto a new line in such case.

Dare I imply that the real problem is that func_msgboard is only 512 pixels wide? 
Thank God For That 
 
 
Why is 512 desirable? As opposed to, say, 768? 
 
It's easier to read short lines of text, the reason magazines and newspapers divide their text into columns.

Nowadays you can use css media queries to blow up the font and width when the window is beyond a certain res. Resolutions keep going up and all... 
Also... 
it was designed 12 years ago and only slightly modified since.

Clearly because it is a power of 2.
