Forum Navigation Improvements

[deebee29]

Good morning folks

The team have been busy behind the scenes making some improvements to make site navigation easier

There's also a New Members Guide with all the information new members might find useful

Some of you may have noticed two new buttons in the menu bar at the top of each page. Handy Information & Latest Posts

clicking on these buttons opens a drop down list with various headings

if you click on these titles you will be taken to the relevant section of the forum.

This is a work in progress and is likely to be updated regularly.

The information at the moment is just taken from what already existed so if you notice anything that is wrong or no longer relevant pleas let one of the Tech Team know

I just wanted to thank the team for undertaking the work to reorganise things a bit. I really like the new tabs and dropdowns - they're great for finding things quickly.

Sorry if I have just missed a setting somewhere but I wonder if it's possible that when I look at a thread I have previously read, I am automatically taken to my last read post and not just the first page of the thread again. I know numerous forums which allow me to do it and find it much easier to navigate the forum.

 

Does that make sense? I hope so

on the left of the thread title there is a blue dot (or a blue star if you have posted on the thread) press that and it will take you to the first unread post.

 

hope that makes sense

Aha, I knew there would be something obvious I was missing.

 

Thanks donnygeoff

That's great Geoff thanks.

I've got some thoughts about putting together a help guide explaining what all the symbols & shortcuts do. Hopefully to go in the Handy Links Section.

There is a guide for new members in the announcements right at the top of each page but it doesn't include all the shortcuts.
