Reply to: Changes to (Hopefully) Enhance Your Forum Viewing Experience

Not sure where to fit them in, but the idea makes sense. Maybe a row of small text links above the existing breadcrumb trail at the top, repeated below the breadcrumb trail at the bottom?

It'll probably be easy enough to implement (although we thought that about the breadcrumbs...) so I'll look into it.

Thanks Nick, appreciate your efforts!

Where is support for Netscape v0.95 BETA??!?!!?!

Thanks Nick.

The breadcrumbs and the (now missing) scroll bars are a real improvement.

Whatever forum is currently being viewed there are no direct links to any of the other six forums so two clicks are required to go from General to Technical. Would it not make sense to add these somewhere?

And that's why you'll never be headhunted. You think using a browser constitutes a skill.

It is a skill. It be an easy one but Grannies and incompetents still struggle.

Well its completely beyond you though Napoleon isn't it?

If such low level stuff goes wrong, I expect a support monkey to come and fix it. I have neither the interest nor inclination to understand why badly designed Microsh!te software goes wrong.
If it was Unix on the other hand ....
Sadly, outsourcing means one has to to talk to a support monkey bob abroad.

That head-hunter's client should count themselves lucky the whole thing was imaginary. Imagine head-hunting someone who can't use a web-browser...

Bah! Contrary to firm policy (stuck on IE6) I unilaterally upgraded to IE8 just for CUK.
Now I can't use Google, the links to results are too slow.
Don't know why.
Can't be bothered to explain to IT support in India either.
Gah!

Breadcrumbs? Not another one. I still haven't manage to figure out what clouds are yet.

PS Never bother with any of the twiddly stuff you are on about but it all looks good to me. Good job.

I heard CUK wants to switch BBoard software again in a couple of weeks, but they haven't the heart to tell NickFitz.

If they pay him I'm sure he won't complain too much.

Good work Nick.

Click "Quick Links" underneath this post.

Don't see it. If it's like the Quick Links at the top of the page it doesn't link to any of the other forums. Direct links are there for about every aspect of the site except to other forums.

Edit: Quick Navigation, got it. Marginally better but still requires two clicks to go elsewhere. What's wrong with direct links in a menu?

Thanks Nick - some wicked improvements!

Change forum? Never again - you are stuck with this one for at least a decade now
