'Twas easier for me to add a text link rather than creating 4 new buttons, it works anyway (/me points to bottom right hand side).

mightn't it be better, just for neatness and all that, to leave the session ID out of the URL?... or am I just being picky?

Yep it probably would, I've also changed it to link to the postid instead of the threadid so as to avoid problems with multipage threads or moved posts.
