Odd Request for Website Dudes

[Ryken]

Hey guys, I love your forums, but am a bit lazy and have a request for ya!

Do you think you could put a link at the bottom of each thread that takes you back to the subforum you posted in? There are links for next and previous thread, but nothing that takes you back to the forum.

I know, minor stuff, but if it is possible, I think it would be a nice addition!

I don't think it would be beneficial when you can just scroll back to the top. Plus at the bottom of the page there is an EdgeGamers™ Link.

I have to agree with him. This is probably the only forum i've ever used without breadcrumbs at the bottom of the thread. It annoys me pretty much every day because every other forum uses them, and I always try to go those and use them.

At the bottom of the page on the right hand side there is a top link that moves you to the top of the page. Also, pressing the home key will move you to the top of the page and the end key will move you to the bottom. At the top of the page just click on the last entry in the forum hierarchy and viola.

No muss no fuss.

why not just use the back button

Just using the back button will not update the read/unread status. If you do use the back button and refresh the page you're golden.

you'll actually find this already built into the page:

Or you could do this:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr valign="bottom"><td></td> <td> </td> <td width="100%">EDGEGAMERS? Organization > Main Category > General Forum </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="navbar" style="font-size: 10pt; padding-top: 1px;" colspan="3"> Odd Request for Website Dudes </td></tr></tbody></table>

Its at the top of each thread. Just click the General Forum link, or the one before your thread.

there is an option in opera to auto refreash when going back and forward and im pretty sure there is a firefox add-on for the same

 

[acefisher1]

I'm not trying to be mean... but why are you guys posting telling him that there is a link at the top of the page when he clearly states that there should be the same thing at the bottom of the page...

Read the post before you reply please.

I understand there are other methods to get back, and I generally just hit backspace and refresh, but it would be nice, and not difficult to implement at all, to have the breadcrumbs at the bottom.

Cool. I'll have to look for it on Internet Explorer. I can't use the other browsers at work even though I prefer Firefox.

We read the post. We're just trying to be helpful. There is nothing wrong with teaching people to get the most out of what they have. Besides I'd rather the tech boys work on Maul II than web widgets.

We thought he was looking for the link in general, acefisher1. It doesn't really matter where the link is - we were simply stating that it exists. It's not exactly rocket science to hit the "top" link and then use the folder links to get to the subforum. Top, bottom, it really shouldn't matter where it is. I think he was just looking for it, period.

also there is the home button on the keyboard which scrolls to the top of a page, it's right beside page up
