I'd like to request two minor modifications be made that make the `View New Content` button more visible on the Malazan Empire and IP.Board Mobile themes.

Ideally, this would promote users clicking to see more content across all sub-forums, instead of just clicking into the one or two usual places. While I don't have access to the theme files, these should be pretty straightforward to implement.

I'm happy to provide more help, if you want to share the theme files with me.

Malazan Empire Theme
This one only needs a CSS update. On the <a> tag containing the `View New Content` link, add the following CSS*:
  
#section_links li:nth-child(2) a {
	padding: 10px;
	background: linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(51,0,51,1) 0%, rgba(109,6,109,1) 68%, rgb(123, 15, 123) 100%);
	background-color: rgb(51,0,51);
	border-radius: 4px;
	border: 1px solid #460e46;
}


The result will look like this:

*If you want to be quick and dirty, you can just drop that entire code block into the CSS file. However, you could also add a Class or ID to the `View New Content` <a> tag in the theme's HTML and rewrite as needed. Whichever you prefer.

IP.Board Mobile Theme
This is a little trickier, as it would require both a tweak to the HTML and a CSS change. I've provided CSS (an element target is needed), but the HTML would be up to you. For the HTML, the <a> tag should be copied to just after the <h1> (screenshot)

{
    font-size: 1em;
    top: 0;
    background: #7288a2;
    background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#8EA3BC), to(#62758B), color-stop(0.5, #7288a2));
    border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.1);
    color: #fff;
    padding: 5px 20px;
    position: absolute;
    right: 70px;
    top: 8px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    text-decoration: none;
}


The result will look like this:

Neither. We require the tears of an H-1B software engineer, kombucha from a startup's draft keg in Silicon Valley, and Peter Thiel's blood.

It's a little known fact that the 4th Z in my nickname stands for wiZard.

Sorry, this completely fell off my radar. I've applied the CSS.

Mobile skin looks the same to me it's the desktop skin showing the difference.

I don't think Xae made the mobile change yet. It's slightly more work to make, as it requires an HTML edit, in addition to the CSS edit.

Hopefully it's on his agenda. I pretty much exclusively use the site from my phone :D
