On other forums I have been to in the past, some have had a drop down list at the bottom right of all pages (except forum index), that allow you to "jump to" the chosen forum, bypassing the Forum Index page.
Sounds like I am just being too lazy to go back to the Index and then to the forum I want to, but think about the times when HomeLAN is going running on its hairbrush connection and it would convienent to go from one forum to another instead of using extra time to load the index.
I would just edit the address bar of the forum #, but they seem to be out of order. Not as easy as changing a page #.

I already knew it came with phpBB, but, there is still a wonder of the why :?:
Being it would be such a nice feature. . .
I've been trying to reach you, but your extension cord doesn't reach that far.
either keep the format the way it is or only the pulldown, but not both. I like it the way it is though.

There is probably a way of implementing it without the overhead, but I never spent the time to figure that out. I just removed it.
1) at login get the name and id of all the forums the user can access
2) put them as an array in $_SESSION
3) generate the select from the array at each page (single for loop, fuck all overhead).
4) ......
5) profit.
