Forum navigation suggestions

[Jonathan Gilligan]

I love this site. Good job with setting it up (big relief after the Code Guru fiasco). Here are a couple of suggestions that would make it easier to move around in the forums:

1. I set my view preference to "linear" when I registered. Now there is no clear way to get back to a preferences page to reset my preference to default to "threaded".
2. When I am reading a message, there are "reply", "subscribe", "previous", "next", "return", and "home" navigation links, but it would be nice to have:
   1. A banner to tell me what folder I'm in when reading a message.
   2. A "folder" or "top" navigation link to take me to the folder view. Otherwise, I have to hit my browser's back button or the "return" link repeatedly if I've been browsing a thread sequentially, hitting "next message" over and over.
3. The ability to edit or delete messages I've previously posted to the forum.

Thanks for listening and for creating this site.

I've had a lot of good suggestions for this board (including yours). As soon as the initial rush settles down and I can really get stuck into the scripts, I'll make the boards more user friendly. cheers, Chris ================== The original message was: I love this site.
