After some serious thought... way to serious perhaps!
I decided that the 1st post on every page might be a bit cumbersome when people post several pix on the first post.
So...
Code Monkey, Guru, Sir... What would be the syntax for a link that I could anchor to a button in the postbit that opens a new window with showpost for the first post in that thread ?? That would allow people to easily 'look back' at the first post and then close the window without having to jump back and forth.
Thanks for any help you can give me, CM.
