Of course I should start of by saying thanks for providing such an amazing plug in.  The integration into wordpress and the reciprocity between blog post and forum is exactly what I have been looking for.

I have been testing the plug in for some time and am getting ready to make it avaliable to my readers, however, I have come across one issue that I cant seem to resolve.

The link in the blog post to “Join the forum discussion on this post” is not formatted properly and does not look as neat as the link in the forum to “Read original blog post”. (image attached)

Does anyone kow how I can get the link in the post to look like the link in the forum?

You need to define any styling for this in your theme as the forum CSS is not available to your blog.

The 'span' that contains the text, image and link is given a class of 'sfforumlink'.

The text that appears can be altered in the forum Admin > Options > Links tab.

Hope that helps

Andy - do I need to add the #sforum ID or just use the sfforumlink class?  Right now when I create the class (using the same code from the sfbloglink css) , the icon and the text are being wrapped seperately.

ideas?

No leave the 'sforum' id out - that does not exist outside of the forum display.

The whole thing is wrapped in a span with class name of 'sfforumlink'. So really you shoudl be able to get to the components of the span with 'img' and 'a' etc. Does that not work?

Forget to mention, of course, that unless yoy specify it in this new CSS, the image will just inherit whataver the default 'img' style is for the content of your blog is from your theme. Sane with the 'a' link.
