Forum Suggestion?

I know I am new and you probably don't want to hear about what I have to say, but really the only button I use on most forums is the view active topics button,

I know this button is on the home page, but if there is anyway to make this button show up on every page it would make navigating the forum much easier for me.

having to go from a post I picked back to the homepage and then click active topics is kind of a pain.

If others do not agree that is cool, just a suggestion...unless I am missing this button somewhere?

On the right hand side of the screen, right next to your login name, is a 'v'

That's a pulldown menu...

What you seek is there grasshopper :p

:cool:

When I click on the Beer Borg, I get the home page/index the way I have it saved to my favorites, then I click on view active topics and get the latest post. after I look at them and return I'm back to active topics. I use IE on my computer but that also works on my Iphone unless I'm on Tapatalk and that looks different and something I'm still working on.

Agreed - well said. Stinkfist, your seat at the bar is just as tall as ours.

On topic, I see a lot of people must use the "view active topics" link. I'll offer an alternative approach, which I use. I don't know if it's any better or worse, just throwing it out there.
When I visit the Borg and finish my reading, I click on "mark forums read." Then, the next time I visit, I click on "view new posts," and it will show me ONLY the threads that have actually been updated since my last visit.

Another option is view unread topics.
