Is there any other way to REPLY without going back to the top of a Thread? I can't seem to find a REPLY button in the posts or at the bottom.
I see "Reply with quote" and Multi-quote, but no REPLY as we used to have. Only at the very top left of the thread.

I don't know what you are seeing, but I see two big "Reply to Thread" buttons - one at the top left, and one at the bottom left.

I see nothing at the bottom left for a REPLY.
Here's a screenshot of what I see.

Unless the site has been set for updated browsers (IE 7 or 8) which I don't use, I see only what shows in the link.
I'll try again with Firefox and see what's there.
As it is right now I have the Reply to at the top left, but as you can see, nothing remotely resembling it anywhere on the bottom. I do have "Previous Thread, and Next Thread", the Report, edit reply with and an unlabled square with a dot in it which is "multi-quote", and the YOU MAY box but that's it.

Are you sure you're logged in, tBM? I've been having trouble with the site not realizing I'm logged in until I click something; if I go to a page via bookmark or URL bar, it forgets again.

I must be. You/we can't post unless we are. :) I just noticed the Smiley box on the right is cut up like the tables are out of alignment also.
The left column cuts the winged Smilie in half, truncates Idea and the joker, then continues with NoNo ending with Wot, with the last nine in a "table" the top center and right are in two rows that are 4 deep and cut off the bottom 1/3 of Bored and confused. Again as a "table" that is 2 by 4 in dimensions.
And just a comment, if it gets read by those who control the site: The new "color" scheme is poor. The white on light blue on background blue-grey, is a terrible combination and very difficult to read.

I agree that we currently have some legibility issues, especially on thread list pages (and generally speaking there's far too much visual clutter). Pretty sure David is working on putting out fires right now and we'll see some aesthetic improvements once the smoke clears.

FWIW, the "Reply to Thread" button is now on the upper and lower right, but lower than when it was on the left. Also, the "Spoiler" button doesn't have an icon.

In Opera here the bottom button appears/dissapears depending on how you scroll up and down. You use the keyboard or drag the scrollbar it appears. You use the mouse wheel it does not.
Probably has something to do with this being the markup:
Code:
<div class="above_postlist link_right">
<a href="newreply.php?p=1944890&noquote=1"
class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newreplylink_top"><span>+</span> Reply to Thread</a>
<img style="*************" id="progress_newreplylink_top" src="images/misc/progress.gif" alt="" />
</div>
Doing the job of
Code:
<a href="newreply.php?p=1944890&noquote=1" id="newReplyTop">
<span>+</span> Reply to Thread
</a>
Since it's not doing anything that warrants ANY of the rest of those elements... Though it could also be that they don't have proper float clearing behaviors in place either - at the very least if you're gonna have a wrapping div around it, DO something with it like make it wrap it's float. (overflow:hidden and a haslayout trigger good as always)

Today, the Reply to thread at the bottom right is now visible. I don't have the problem stated above as it shows with the scroll drag, scroll wheel, and the Arrows on the buttons.
I guess I'll just shut up for a few days and see what develops. I hate "tabbed" browsers, but if push comes to shove, I'll just use Firefox for this one site.
