When you mouse over the bottom "Start a New Conversation" or "Post New Thread" buttons the top few pixels of the buttons are no longer a part of the anchor (the options handle container interferes because of the -17px margin).
To fix this, I added another style to the bottom pageNavLinkGroup class of the forum view and conversation list that added a 17px top margin and now both buttons work as their top counterparts.
