I am trying to use custom pagers to page through forum topics while using the advanced forum module. I have a few questions.

1. Should css in my theme's local.css be recognized. I'm not seeing it in Firebug, so it would be helpful to know if I'm probably doing something wrong in what I'm specifying or whether, for any reason, local.css isn't used.

2. I can see the previous and next links, but the order of topics doesn't seem to reflect the order I expect. What I would expect to be the first item shows up as item 70 of 87. I'm not clear what order is followed after that. I am pointing custom pagers to a view that has term_id as a variable in the default section. I don't know if it is because the url of topics shows forum/title rather than showing the term_id in the url? If so, is there something I need to do differently?

By the way, I think this would be a nice feature for future releases of advanced_forum.

Thanks for any ideas of what to look at.

Solved the second problem. The view my sorting view was based on was displaying in the proper order, but wasn't explicitly sorted by the proper column. Once I fixed that, the prev next work as expected.

Still trying to figure out if the css in my local.css not working is a specificity problem or not.

Specifically, I would like to make the navigation links float: right. I have tried various levels of specificity in my local.css and haven't gotten it right yet. Could anyone suggest the right way to set this up?

As a test, I was able to change the formatting of .next, so now I know that, as one would expect, local.css can be used. That means it must be user error, but I'm not sure what.

Thanks.
