)Using FireFox and an extension called Greasemonkey plus a user script, you can have endless forum pages -- when you scroll to the bottom of the thread page you're on, the script will grab the next page worth of replies and load them. No screenshots for this one, but there's nothing to it. You'll never have to hit next again.
FireFox is an awesome browser -- you'll forget why you ever wanted to use IE (or Opera or Safari). Go ahead, <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/">get it now</a>. I'll wait.
Okay, good. The beauty of Firefox is that <a href="http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/extensions/">you can install extensions</a>. Ever use a program and wish it had that one nifty feature that would make it absolutely perfect? With FireFox, there's a good chance someone else has had the same thought and written a little add-on to make the feature happen.
One warning: using this script adds a little to the load time at the end of each page, because it has to grab the next page worth of posts.

This one also takes a couple of steps to install. It requires an extension called Greasemonkey to be installed first, so go <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/748/">install it</a> now. Then restart FireFox and come back here.
After that, you have to install the actual Endless Forum Pages script. That's also simple -- just <a href="http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/1 ... ight-click here</a> and choose "install user script."
That's it. Reload the page and you'll see the quick-reply box at the bottom. If you don't, right-click on the monkey icon in the browser bottom status bar, choose manage user scripts, and then click on the Endless Forum Pages script. It should look like this:

And now that you've got Greasemonkey installed, you can add all kinds of nifty phpBB-related scripts. I'll be posting about more of those in <a href="http://buslist.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=101261">this thread</a>.
