So, I fixed the link colors for both dark & light, and fixed the white username colors for the dark theme when looking at post rating list.

I also changed the way live update works, it will only scan & add new posts if you are on the newest page in a thread. That only counts pages you can see. It will also no longer function on locked threads (..because that's effing stupid, why they didn't program that in there I do not know, but you get what you pay for and it was free LOL).

"Last page" example:

You stumble out of bed at 2PM, oh shit the thread is already 10 pages long. Previously live update would keep throwing new posts as you were on page 4 trying to catch up, which made the catchup process painful and kind of confusing. This will no longer happen.

You're up at the crack of Zoltar and are on page 2 of the thread and there are no more visible pages yet. The flood of "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ's" come in and the thread is probably at page 8 because of all the posts, but you only have links to page 1 and page 2 VISIBLE in your browser. You'll still be getting live updates of the thread! It will only not function if you have pages you haven't "caught up" on yet. As soon as you click on the last link available to you, it'll reactivate.

I think this is the intuitive way the feature should function. I also think it'll fix some of the issues reported by @Mozzie and @Randomacts so please let me know if you two encounter that bug again from here on out.

ETA: Navbar fix is probably still another day or two away. I don't want to script over the site, I want to actually fix it in the back-end - which is infinitely more difficult but the proper way to do it so unless I fail miserably I'm gonna try to get it done there.
