This hack functions exactly like the current links, except now users can see the actual thread titles of the next newest and next oldest thread. Someone said this could(?) help with SEO somewhere along the line. I don't claim to know enough to validate this statement. I developed the hack because it simply provided more information to the user, possibly enticing them to click with a thread title that may peak their interest.
I've also never been fond of the location of these links originally, at the bottom, so I've included an option via the AdminCP where you can opt to relocate the links to the top of the page just below the navbar (see screenshots below).

* Occasionally, you may notice a link beying displayed as "-" rather than a thread title. This is normal. This simply means there is no thread which is newer (or older) than the current thread being viewed. This same functionality is in vBulletin by default.
