The forum/topic tree in the upper left is great, but in longer forums, my users are pleading with me for a way to have that tree at the bottom of the screen too.....saves having to scroll all the way to the top to view other topics in that forum category

 

Please and thank you!

Shouldn't be difficult...

You could:
- Define a new variable (strTree, maybe)
- Find where the tree is written in the page, and instead of having the page write the tree, set strTree = strTree & "whatever would have been written"
- Then you can response.write(strTree) at any subsequent point on the page, which means all you need to do is find a space for it down the bottom somewhere.

In fact, your suggestion is so good I might even give it a go myself...

Umm, thanks for the response but I'm not much of a programmer (learning tho!).  But as a registered user...yes, I donated money, I was hopeful either Borg would be inclined to consider adding that in 7.02...or if one of the Mod guys would tackle it.

Thanks for replying

You can dump this in the code to add it, put it in the forums_topics.asp and forum_posts.asp. on my board I added it about the "watch this topic" on the topics page and above the reply window on the posts page.  Thanks for giving me the idea!  If you have trouble adding it, and have no other modifications to you site, drop me a PM and I can send you a zip with the 2 modified files.

<br />
<table>
<tr>
<td align="left" class="bold"><img src="<% = strImagePath %>open_folder_icon.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">&nbsp;<a href="default.asp" target="_self" class="boldLink"><% = strMainForumName %></a><%
Response.Write(strNavSpacer)
Response.Write ("<a href=""forum_topics.asp?FID=" & intForumID & """ target=""_self"" class=""boldLink"">" & strForumName & "</a>")
%>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

A simple solution would be to add a little internal link and target the top of the page. No need to scroll all the way up

There is already a "back to top" link on each post, of course. But it's still two clicks rather than one, which for some people, is one click too many!
