Small dumb request (sub-forum links)

Wed Jun 13, 2012 8:22 am

if there is ever any free time for the dev. could you please add links to each of the sub-forums in the static header of the site? it is a pain to have to switch back to the main forum url to switch sub-forums.

just something I noticed (and enjoy) on other forums.

Feel free to disregard if it is too much trouble :)

Thanks for the interesting suggestion, Todd. Not going to bother Mike while's he's on vacation, but we will discuss it soon.

Kind of like what vBulletin has? A drop down box with the forums?

There is no officially sanctioned mod for this from phpBB. Someone was working on such a mod about 2 years ago but it's long been abandoned - it never got close to release quality.

I'll take a look at the code and see what can be done or if there's something on phpBB.com that can be adapted, but can't promise anything.

There's the 'Jump To:' box at the bottom - could that be moved further up the page?

ahh Never noticed the jump to box. that is nice. here is an example of what I am talking about.

see the subforum links at the top? It seems most forums have something like this so no matter where you are you can get to a different subforum without returning to the main page first.
