This came at the request of my users. They asked for an Active Topics link near the bottom of every page. This is what I came up with. It's quite simple and not a major impact, but for whatever reason, my avid users love it.

It turns that bar at the bottom of every page into a quick way to get to Active Topics. Particularly helpful after you get done reading a long thread.

For an example, see http://www.councilofgrey.com/forum/ (### Edited - Server is up and running again)

At the very top of inc_footer.asp change this:


<table width=100% border=0 bgcolor="<% =strPageBGColor %>" cellpadding="0" cellspacing = "4"> 
  <tr bgcolor="<% =strPageBGColor %>">
    <td bgcolor="<% =strPageBGColor %>">
    <table border=0 width="100%" align="center" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">
      <tr>
        <td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" align=left valign=top nowrap><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>">
        <p align=left><% =strForumTitle %></p>
        </font></td>
	<td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" align=right valign=top nowrap><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>">
        <p align=right><% =strCopyright %></p>
        </font></td>
        <td bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" width=10 nowrap><a href="#top"><img src="icon_go_up.gif" height=15 width=15 border="0" align="right" alt="Go To Top Of Page"></a></font></td>    
      </tr>
    </table>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

To this: (a straight copy and paste should do fine)


<table width=100% border=0 bgcolor="<% =strPageBGColor %>" cellpadding="0" cellspacing = "4">
  <tr bgcolor="<% =strPageBGColor %>">
    <td bgcolor="<% =strPageBGColor %>">
    <table border=0 width="100%" align="center" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">
      <tr bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#AAAAAA'; this.style.cursor='hand';" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='<% =strForumCellColor %>';"  onclick="window.location.href='active.asp'"> '#### Modified for Active Topics Bar MOD
        <td align=left valign=top nowrap><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>">'#### Modified for Active Topics Bar MOD
        <p align=left><% =strForumTitle %></p>
        </font></td>
        <td width=100% align=center valign=top nowrap><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>">'#### Added for Active Topics Bar MOD
	<p align=center><b>Click for Active Topics</b></p>'#### Added for Active Topics Bar MOD 
	</font></td>'#### Added for Active Topics Bar MOD
        <td align=right valign=top nowrap><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>">'#### Modified for Active Topics Bar MOD
        <p align=right><% =strCopyright %></p>
        </font></td>
        <td width=10 nowrap><a href="#top"><img src="icon_go_up.gif" height=15 width=15 border="0" align="right" alt="Go To Top Of Page"></a></font></td>'#### Modified for Active Topics Bar MOD
      </tr>
    </table>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

I haven't tested this on anything but 3.3, but I suspect it should work in almost any version. Let me know how it turns out if you try it.
