Title: Missing a Forum dropdown
Post by: mystictechgal on May 20, 2019, 11:17:58 PM
We're missing a heading that brings up a dropdown of the fora available. Yeah, I've figured out that I can hit the "home" button or click "The fora" part of the title to get to the list, but I can't go directly from one place to another when I know where I want to go. It's a niggle, not a major issue, but that drop-down is how I usually navigated CHE. Not having it available always adds a second or two of confusion (and another step if I already know where I want to go.) If we are trying to make things easy for CHE users to transition, we might want to add it.

Huh -- I never saw/noticed that on the old forum.  (It would have been useful!)  Where was it located?

EDIT: Never mind. Found it at the bottom of the page.

EDIT2: I see that same dropdown menu here, too, now that I know where to look for it (perhaps newly enabled?).

I never noticed it on CHE, but I can see it now on the very bottom right hand corner.

In the great software eff-up/"reorganization" some time ago over there (a couple of years?), the drop-down menu items order never got fixed.
