My users would like to print the threads, posts, etc, but there are no Print Buttons. Using CS 2.0 final release. Is there an adminstrative option i need to set or something? Ive looked in the skin files and found non of them referance the print button:

<CSD:ForumImageButton runat="server" ButtonType="Reply" id="ReplyButton" />

<CSD:ForumImageButton runat="server" ButtonType="Quote" id="QuoteButton" />

<CSD:ForumImageButton runat="server" ButtonType="Delete" id="DeleteButton" />

<CSD:ForumImageButton runat="server" ButtonType="Edit" id="EditButton" />

"So I added it myself"

<CSD:ForumImageButton runat="server" ButtonType="Print" id="PrintButton" />

The button now shows up but has errors. Seems this should be standard functionality and I should not have to add this to the skin files. What am i missing. Help.. Thanks

There are print stylesheets now, so you can use the build-in print button in the browser J

Your web browser has a print button. It's usually up next to the Back or Home or Reload buttons.

Worst case, press Ctrl-P. It will print.
