When I read a post on a social group forum, then want to go back to the forum, the choice that is shown on Forum Jump is User Control Panel. That does not get you back to the social group forum. I don't like it.

At the top of most, perhaps all, forum pages is a string of links like this:
Forums at Psych Central > General > Other Mental Health Discussion > Feedback & Technical Support
User Control Panel?

In this case, clicking on the Feedback & Technical Support link would take me back to the Feedback & Technical Support forum index. When you're in a social group forum, are those same choices shown?

I just went to Pegs Forum, probably as good as an example as any of a social group forum.

When I'm looking at a thread in that forum, the links at the top of the page read:
Forums at Psych Central > Social Group Forums > Pegs Forum
(title of the thread)

Clicking on the Pegs Forum link takes me to the Pegs Forum Index.

In the Forum Jump menu, the 6th item from the bottom is "Social Group Forums". If I select it, I don't even have to click on Go -- I get taken right to a listing of social group forums including Pegs.

When I'm on the Index Page for that forum, there seems to be no direct link to the Social Group. However, I can get to the User Control Panel either with Forum Jump or by clicking My Profile. Once I'm at the User Control Panel, there's a link in the left sidebar for Social Groups.

When I'm on the Pegs Forum Social Group page there's a link at the upper left, right under the "Pegs Forum" title, to "Visit the forum of this group."

All in all, it seems a little easier to navigate from the social group to its forum than the other way. Between the forum and the individual threads, though, it takes only one click in each direction.

Does this address your question, pachy?

I always use the Forum Jump at the bottom of the page but when I am in Pegs Forum, have to go to the top. I'm used to it now.

This is true if you use the links at the top to go back to the forum instead of using Forum Jump. I guess I will have to use that.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
