Can you do this. Make an additional link on the header that says "homepage" before the "snowboardingforum-snowboard enthusiast forum" link. That way you have an option to go to either....

Yep, this is what it needs. A link back to the forum list on all pages so you don't have to go to the home page and then to the forum list everytime you switch from thread to thread or forum section to forum section.

That is the same problem I want addressed. Unfortunately it's not something I modify at this time, or it would already be done.

I like to have it that if you are on the front page the header will take you to the forum. If you are on the forum the header will take you to the front page.

That would be okay, though I think it should just link to the homepage.

If you look at the forum line above is where I have an issue.

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums >snowboarding forum message board>news, updates etc,

If you click on Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums, it takes you to the homepage. I'd prefer it to take you to the forum list instead. I think most everyone wants to go to the forum list by hitting that link. Instead it's become a two part process.

"snowboarding forum message board" will take you to the message board. Changing the link in that chain I am not sure is possible.

I don't like clicking the header and having it lead to the homepage. I have been using it to refresh or redirect me to the forums' top page. Now I keep forgetting that it leads to my homepage and that I have to click the link for "forums" after the fact.

Also, in the homepage, while I like the recent threads I've participated in, I don't like that it takes you to the first page of said thread after clicking it. Should take you to the last page of the threads.

Well then can you add a link in the chain that directs you to the forum list? Right now as it stands, you either go to the homepage or the individual forum section you are looking at. There is no option to go straight to forum page that lists all the different forums available.

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums > Snowboarding Forum Message Board > News, Updates and Suggestions

The one in bold is the one that takes you back to the list of forums. I can get the header changed to go to the main forum list page no matter where you click that from.

It doesn't. That's the problem. It takes you to the snowboarding forum message board forum, which only contains New, Updates, and suggestions and Meets and Events. We are missing the snowboarding equipment, snowboarding travel, Regional forums, snowboarding lifestyle, snowboarding lounge, and off topic sections.

AS MPD has noted the other sections only bring you back to their related forums, not the whole list.

There are loads of plugins that can be added. Some work really well and other clutter it. basketballforum.com has done a nice job setting up theirs. I have also put a request in for now to have the top banner go to http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php no matter what page you are on.
