Default Forum Return Button

Perhaps I'm just missing it, but is there a button or link at the bottom of a thread that will return you back to the forum you are in? When I get to the bottom of a thread I scroll all the way back up to the top to click on the link for the forum the thread was in so I can browse for the next thread I want to read. If this does exist, please point it out and if it doesn't, it would be something I think everyone would find useful.

Are you using the app or the site, and mobile or full?

And you're basically looking for a Next thread / Previous thread button or set of buttons?

I've seen the Next Thread/Previous Thread links, but that only takes you to obviously the next or previous thread. What I'm looking for is a button that would jump you back to the forum page for the thread you are viewing so you can select another thread (but not the previous or next one) from that same forum to read.

For example at the bottom of this thread that we are on right now you could read this post and then click on a link or button that would take you back to the list of other threads in the "Suggestions, Comments & Questions about the Forum". It appears the only way to do that right now is to scroll back up to the top of this thread and click on the link that says "Suggestions, Comments & Questions about the Forum". I've seen this done on other forums and it is very useful, especially on a lengthy thread.

Didn't know about that. Thanks!

Still think it would be easy to add a clickable link to do the same but the Backspace key is easier than scrolling up to the top of the page. Man, how lazy can I be to not want to move my hand from the mouse to the keyboard?

At the bottom of the page, you'll notice the "Quick Reply" div. On the top right of that div is a blue circular button with two upward arrows that'll take you back to the top of the page.



Then you can use the breadcrumb trail to click on the breadcrumb you want to go back to.





Maybe that helps?

Huh... scratch that... it seems that's programmed incorrectly... I'm going to ask the techies about that one.
