Forum Suggestions

Some suggestions while I'm thinking about them -

When at the bottom of a page of posts, there should be links to go back to the root of the forum(s).  Instead I have to click on the "go to the top of the page" and then click on the link at the top that takes me back to the forum root.

When looking at the titles, seeing who created the thread would be nice.

The shortcuts should be available on every page, I particularly like the "posts you have not read" shortcut.  However, to use it I have to go back to the forum root.  Would be nice to be able to click on it from any page.

tis all for now

Thanks for all your work Matt!

The payoff of not having the shortcuts in the main thread pages, is so that there's more screen realestate horizontally. I think that payoff is worth it.

I will look into making better navigation for getting back to the forum root on the bottom of the page.

Thanks,

Yeah, I'd like to go back to knowing who started a thread too.

.......and maybe how many times its been viewed.

That's just narcissistic.  Like you'd just look at that to see how many times people had viewed a thread you started.  At least that's all I'd use it for.

Can we make the clicked links text a different color?  The orange is great if I haven't visited a link before, but the grey is tough to tell apart from the rest of the text.  Maybe purple?  I'm partial to purple.

Matt:

Purple is a little too drastic....      I'm trying a subtle light-yellow. Let's give that a try.

Good gracious.

The problem is my brain wants to look at the yellow first.

You serious? Isn't the orange dominant? I would think so.

Maybe I've got a weird brain, but that's what it does.

The yellow on the review pages is seriously messing with my eyes and head.
