Deprecated - Drupal core

One of the first rules in human interface design is to NOT move the controls. These controls should be spatially "static" or be in the same place as the last time you clicked it. After blogging about the wonders of book navigation, I am very disappointed to see the very strength of the whole concept turned on its head. While I am happy to see, from and SEO perspective, that the link titles themselves are now the controls as opposed to the words "next" and "prev", I find two major flaws with the new approach in 4.7:

1. Centering of the controls as a whole - In other words, the link to go to the next page may be centered now, but look fast, because it's going to be on the right, or maybe 2ems from the right, or maybe half is going to be on the right and the other half will be centered on the next line. See next point...
2. No accomodation for line wraps - maybe this is the price we pay for making the links the titles, because now many of them are too long to fit on one line. This does not look good nor does it make sense from a usability standpoint. I'll sacrifice the minute SEO advantage of having keywords in my book navigation links in order to get a more usable interface design.

I was searching for some discussion on this matter and all I found was an issue posted claiming that is was somehow "incorrect" (my interpretation) to have empty divs as place holders in the previous (4.6) book nav format. http://drupal.org/node/13099 Killes correctly noted in the last reply that this no longer applied.

In Drupal 4.6, when user_login() outputs the login form, it uses the code:

   return form($output, 'post', url('user/login', drupal_get_destination()));

This sends the user to back to the current page after logging in. This works well for the standard User Login block which appears on normal pages and displays a user/pass/submit form.

Hello,
I have noticed that in session.inc, session_read function will load roles. This means in every browser request, drupal will start by doing a query on role and users_role tables. Why this information is not cached in data field and so it will be loaded when drupal_unpack($user) is called?

What features are the Drupal forums lacking?

I have a running version of OG 4.6 and after a little bit of trial and error and
a reading a number of posts, I managed to get group subsriptions and message
posts to work.

Question, my groups home page are listing the group posts/nodes in a default
table. I'd like to retheme just this layout without touching anything. How do I
do this?

I looked over og.module and I found the function theme_og_view and
theme_og_list_generic().

Can someone tell me how to put reply boxes next to (along side) original post at all times. Our set up is - they do not have to log-in to post. Specificly, we need it in the TOP right, we hope.
