    Default Metalwork Forum Shortcut?

    Hi All,

    This might not be the place or its already been covered elsewhere but I'm going to ask anyway.

    First of all I will say I'm more than happy with the upgrade, I think whoever was in charge did a great job.

    My only bugbear is: Metalwork Forum is now so difficult to get to. It's halfway down my computer page. At the moment I'm hitting the page down button about 9 times to get here. Is there a easy way of navigating to it? Like a saved short cut?

    This is not a war stopper for me so if nothing can be done about it I can live with it (for those who are gonna tell me to dry my eyes and stop whinging).

    Open to all suggestions.

    Ben

    Just scroll down if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, if not grab the bar on the right and drag it down.

    When I open the page the 'Sub-Forums: METALWORK FORUM' is at the bottom of the page

    You could also click the "-" in the banner for each "area" you arent interested in. If you close all the ones above metal work you only have to scroll one page.
    I really should get to that homepage more often!

    It'd be nice if you could click on something at the top like you could in the bad old days.
    Also admins....Why is it most photos aren't automatically displayed?
    Ok, that's my winge for the night.

    Hi All,

    I'd just like to thank everyone for not taking the p*ss out of me. I didn't see the bookmarks at the top (unless the mods just put it in). I'm putting down to the stress of having a baby and getting old. I will how ever go and find a suitable wall and bang my head against it.

    Cheers Ben

    Ok, ok that proves it. My wife keeps insisting I see nothing.
    Must admit the new bookmark is better then the one from the old days.

    The metalwork shortcut (and boats) at the top ANNOYS me to no end.
    Seeing it no longer shows in the forum list so I can't mark it as read.

    I'm 28 seconds away from leaving for 4 weeks and coming back when things may work.

    You guys now also have a shortcut on the top tab of the front page.

    Say "Thank you Mr Ubeaut"

    Not Also, but instead. The rest of us don't wabt it, And can no longer mark the thread as read. I used to have it as non subscribed, that no longer works.

    Its getting worse instead of better.
