The <- option gets the anchor for that post, so you can link to specific posts in a thread.
The ^ option scrolls you to the top of the page.
The / option hides/shows a post (this is what the posts would look like hidden):

This is how I think the post layout should be. Any comments/suggestions?

I've always hated the big square av's. You should constrain them to 256x64, or a similarly sized rectangle. Can't imagine what one would need to hide posts for, but I like the layout. You can never have too many buttons.
