 |

The web interface for troubleshooting is awfully inneficient. A trillion clicks to check what's wrong on different categories, lost track of replies, go back and forth with stupid browsers icons, etc.
Is there a clean interface to the forums that forgoes html, php, javascript middleman?
lynx is not the answer. |

How about cURL? 
Seriously, this is a standard phpBB bulletin board, what do you expect? If the built-in search is not enough for you, you might try a Google site search.

I have just visited the site, downloaded your hooks.rb script and am writing this answer in elinks.  Works great but some tiny issues:
elinks does not like your color settings, I guess it is a version issue.
But nasty is, that this text box is only 36 characters wide while there is thrice the space available. Now the page is empty to the right. 
Do you have any idea about how to fix that?
(btw: Mouse support like Wheel-scrolling works just splendid!)

I'm afraid the credits go to the wrong person :-/ Thomas Adam provides the hooks
file and he did all the work! So kudos to him
Regarding your problems:
Be sure to configure your colour options in elinks under (S)etup -> (T)erminal
options ...
And for editing of text boxes I usually use the external editor which can be
invoked with Ctrl-T ...

Wow, why did I not think off this?
Thank you very much!
