Suggestion for Improved Navigation Inflate your Upload Space

I often use the “Apolyton CS Forums > Miscellaneous > Apolyton/Community > Suggestion for Improved Navigation” links at the top of each page to get around the forums. It would be nice if they appeared at the bottom of every page as well so that when you have read to the bottom of a page you do not have to scroll all the way back to the top to navigate away…

I find it really useful. CFC really annoys me by having it not defaulting to the forum you're in.

I think there's enough links as it is to be honest.

It could feasably fit on the right, just above or below the forum jump box. But there really is enough links down at the bottom of the page...

The drop down feature at the bottom of the page is the way I usually navigate the site.

I think that it would be redundant. The drop down and the links are both easily accessable.

Why would one extra line make the page load slower?

Nah, I feel it duplicates (somewhat) the function of the drop-down box.

There should be a link on the Apolyton home page that takes you directly to the OT. Instead of having to go to Forums, than scroll down, than click on the OT...

You use the Apolyton home page to enter the site? Hell, I imagine you could live with entering through the OT with the URL in your IE address bar.

I'd like to see a "view all" link for threads, so that if there's a nice chunky 200-post thread I wanna read, I can click that link and let it download rather than having to open several new browser windows for it. Another vB I post at implemented this very easily and it's been very well received...

The drop down menu rules. Why would someone not just use that?

Hi Flinx.

We appreciate the suggestion, but we're going to keep forum navigation the way it is with text links atop and the drop-down menu at the bottom of the pages.

Pah. It's easier to just wave yourself backwards in time with the mouse.

St Leo,

indeed, but when I used mouse gestures with Mozzie, I usually ended up waving myself too much back in time. OTOH, if you get used to it, it's indeed a killer.
