'Forum' button at bottom of posts
« on: November 24, 2010, 10:12:51 am »
At the top of each post is sort of a breadcrumb trail that links back to Omnimaga, the forums, and any subforums.
It would be nice if this breadcrumb trail could be placed at the bottom of every page of posts.
That way, when I finish reading a post, I could jump immediately back to the forum without having to either scroll up and click, or click back then refresh.
'Cause clicking the back button doesn't refresh the page for me (well, I don't think it's supposed to, but still...)

Doesn't the Jump to: menu already do that, though? It's a bit too complicated, though, and I agree, it'd be nice if a link trail could be added to the bottom of the page. Maybe have it replace the Jump to: menu?

I like this idea.  I agree that something needs to be down there, but the Jump to box is really complex. :)

Edit: Right above Quick Reply.

I like the idea of putting the Omnimaga->Forums->ForumName->Topic name thing at the bottom of every page more. For some reasons SMF only did it for certain pages. I should look into the code at one point and edit that. On the old Omnimaga boards I changed it so it was at the bottom as well, too, kinda like on PHPBB boards.

I like the idea, but I also don't feel that the jump box is so bad; it's always default to jump up one level which is usually where I want to go :P

Well to be honest, the jump box is pretty large. It's the same as when I add new sub-forums and it can take a while before I find a parent board among the rest. :P
