    Ah crap, I hope it comes back, I use it all the time. Finding it very irritating without the list. :(
    Same here.

    Maybe I'm the only one. :)

    Only ever used it to go back into the main forum page after reading down to the end of a thread or posting. It was very handy, maybe it could be reinstated just to do that?

    You mean you people don't use "« Previous Thread | Next Thread »"

    :eek:

    Boo! I used this al the time and there's no way I'm going to go scrolling down to a button to bring me up to the top of the page to a menu so I can pick the forum I want.

    I like the new menu.

    I'll miss the old one for navigating to the [Private] fora though, I did use it a fair bit.

    Might do that, we'll see how it goes for the moment.

    FYI, there's a "top" link at the bottom of the page just below where the forumjump menu was that brings you to the top of the page, and thus the DHTML menu. No scrolling necessary :)

    The "Home" button on your keyboard does the same thing.

    Ta, if its possible to add, that would be class. Never scrolled down so far to see the "Top" link, handy to see. To some people keyboard shortcuts belong to a time when the only colour on a monitor was green. :)

    Wot Mr Magnolia said about private forums, but maybe another work around is add them to your subbed list.

    I'm actually lazy/impatient enough to have wanted to suggest a Return to Forum button in each post of a thread... might hold off on that now.
    The site is still slow, BTW, ICYHN...

    It's disgrace, an outrage! I'd ring Joe Duffy only for a don't like the ****.

    I used it all the time, maybe a trow back to my dial up days when that top menu rarely ever worked.

    I'm old and set in my ways, I'll continue to click away in that corner for weeks to come. It's my work that will suffer in the end. I could lose my job! :mad:

    Good god no, imagine the drivel you might end up reading...much more preferable to click on a title that catches your eye and then at least you don't waste time in topics that don't interest you...

    I posted in the Helpdesk forum before I saw this.

    So say for example one is in the Motors forum how do you quickly jump to another such as Commuting and Transporting without returning to the main page ?
    I used that drop them menu more than any other feature of boards and I've actually found myself using boards.ie less since due to the pain of jumping to forums quickly.
    Please tell me I'm missing something obvious and what it is.

    Javascript menu at the very top of the page?

    I am a member of three other forums with a similar layout to "Boards". They all have the "jump forum" list and there's no slowness problems. :confused:

    HC has it, it get's slow a lot and there's a good bit of downtime.

    I found the previous menu confusing because of the amount of forums. It's more at home on a smaller forum. I like the new thingy down the bottom. :pac:

    Didn't realise how much I used it until it was gone. Always used to hit the go button to get back to the forum I was in.

    Press the back button on your browser or by pressing backspace it does the same thing! ;)

    Not really. Right now, it would bring me back to page three in this thread.
    I don't miss the drop-down list per se, but I really miss the go button to get back to the current forum. I can live with the compromise of the new links at the bottom of the thread, but until it becomes second nature, It'll be bloody frustrating, especially as any other vBulletin site I visit tends to have the same layout. :-/
