New Forum software - Give it a try

On the "Quick Navigation" feature, get them to get rid of the "Top" button and make it a "Go" button instead. With top you go to the top of the same page you are on. With go you click it and it takes you back to the sub-forum that is showing in the drop down box.

Much handier than using the drop down box and scrolling through all the child forums.

I'll check into that. Would it accomplish the same thing if the navigation " bread crumb" showing the path to the forum you are in was at the bottom as well as the top? Maybe that is why the "top" button is there to take you back to the navigation bread crumb? It really just needs a button at the bottom of every forum to take you back to the list of threads in that forum. That would be a lot smoother. I'll check. In the mean time I just noticed the easiest way to go back to forum list of threads after reading a thread is to hit the back button on the browser.

That works fine if it is a one page thread. But if it is multiple pages long and you have read through several pages you know need to hit th eback button several times. Same holds true if you post in the thread. If you have posted and hit back it takes you back to the posting screen and not to the home of the sub-forum.

Yeah. You are right. I agree. I always thought is was a little difficult to get back to the list of threads myself now that I think about it. It would also be nice it it took you back to where you left off in the list of threads. I put this on todo list to see if anything is possible.
Thanks for pointing that out.
