"Forums" Button in the top menu

It would be nice to have a “Forums” (fora) button in the top menu that would drop the User in at the top of the Forums structure. I know, you have a link under the login (in 4 point font) and you have the links at the right. But a button in the top menu would act like an in-your-face INVITATION to “come on in” without having to squint and hunt around. If you click the links on the right, the structure can be a little confusing to the uninitiated without the “big picture.

It would be nice to have the “Tips” button back there too. I went looking to link a reply today and …. drew a blank.

Not saying to remove the other links, just maybe add a more User friendly interface for the casual User.

I wonder if the use of DropDown Lists, like in Excel, could be employed for some areas on the right hand panel. That could reduce the amount of scrolling needed, and might give easier access to areas.

Good idea. I can’t drop directly into the forums list, but I could have a link to the forums list.

I wish! But the widgets are pretty inflexible.

How’s that?

How about clicking on that new tab, and being taken to https://www.askwoody.com/forums/ directly? That would save one page-load, which doesn’t seem to achieve much.
Thanks 🙂

Kirsty’s idea works. Can you do that?

Nope. That was my original intent, but I don’t see how to do it.
