Sorry if this has already been suggested, but how about adding a jump to section drop-down menu at the top of a forum's screen? It's a hassle always having to scroll to the bottom of the screen to jump to another section. I figure you can stick it on the same line as the forum search box; it wouldn't take any additional space.

Do people think this is worth the additional clutter?

IMO, it's unnecessary, since page-downing to the bottom to get to the menu is pretty quick, but if enough people want it, I'm open to the idea.

seems to me like a good idea. especially since the one at the bottom is a bit extraneous given that we have our footer with links to every single forum [the one for networking forum still needs to be updated, btw]. i'd say replace the one at the bottom with one at the top.

In my daily usage, I go to a forum and scan the most recent active threads..which of course are at the top of the screen. Yes, paging down is easy, but since I'm generally not planning to page down to see additional threads, it is an extra step.

OK. Well, do other people want this or not?
