Add the following to the very bottom of active.asp right before the %> :

mxpages = (Topic_Replies / strPageSize)
if mxPages <> cint(mxPages) then
mxpages = int(mxpages) + 1
end if
if mxpages > 1 then
Response.Write "<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td valign=""center"">" & _
"<font face=" & strDefaultFontFace & " size=" & strFooterFontSize & ">" & _
"<img src=""images/icon_posticon.gif"" border=""0""></font></td>"
for counter = 1 to mxpages
ref = "<td align=right valign=""center"" bgcolor=" & strForumCellColor & ">" & _
"<font face=" & strDefaultFontFace & " size=" & strFooterFontSize & ">"
if ((mxpages > 9) and (mxpages > strPageNumberSize)) or _
((counter > 9) and (mxpages < strPageNumberSize)) then
ref = ref & " "
end if
ref = ref & widenum(counter) & "<a target=""_blank"" href='topic.asp?"
ref = ref & "TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID
ref = ref & "&whichpage=" & counter
ref = ref & "'>" & counter & "</a></font></td>"
Response.Write ref
if counter mod strPageNumberSize = 0 then
Response.Write("</tr><tr><td> </td>")
end if
next
Response.Write("</tr></table>")
end if
end sub
That ought to be it
I'm using this on my own forums but have that file changed quite a bit so I couldn't use that file to
get the changes. I think I've got everything, but if I haven't or if you have a problem, please post about
it in this forum and use a descriptive name as the subject for your topic.
<edit> Changed the topic subject because it was wrong... Teaches me to copy & paste from another topic 
</edit>
<edit> If you can't get it working and would like the file that already has the changes made, please reply to this topic so I know I won't be uploading it for no reason 
</edit>
<edit> This file, together with the image, a version of forum.asp with the same functionality and a readme file can now be downloaded from http://www.ls3k.com/snitz/mods.asp?action=details&ID=114
Please read the readme1st.txt file before you use the files!</edit>
