Looking for help with scripting project

@penfold1992Dec 15.2008

first of all HI WEB DEVELOPER!

im trying to code a script for a forum i use very regularly to help me and other members out.

the problem is the forums get very big and when we need to change topic we have to scroll all the way up to the top just to click the button, especially at night time this can be a huge problem on the eyes.

i have a script atm, that works however some improvements need to be made in order to make this script better.

now i dont know if its easier to try to explain here or on msn or something, im sure the coding isnt very advanced its just a complete java noob like me doesnt understand what hes doing to put it bluntly.

ive read a few tutorials and stuff but putting the pieces together is a utter nightmare!

thanks in advance for anyone that is willing to help me.

@rnd_meDec 16.2008 — #it's easier to advise you if we can see the script you refer to...

post some code.

@penfold1992authorDec 16.2008 — #ok theres 2 scripts i kind of need to merge.

there are 2 themes for the website. one is white one is black. now i prefer to use both of them at different times of the day to help my eyes.

when its white, i need it white and black i need the nav bar black (no duh)

the first of the scripts is a standard white color and you have to add the links manually in the script when the website gets updated

the other script is pretty much perfect, it changes with theme and it looks like uses the current navbar so when the admin changes the links i think the bar would change automatically. The problem with this one is it overlaps the users and posts and doesnt use the "margin" that was left there when there are no plugins

Script 1:
