Any chance of updating the forum site navigation? Can't Post

I was wondering if the Forum Nav section in the top left corner of the page could be expanded to include the rest of the boards - Off Topic, Pollantir, Moots and Feedback. It would be handy to have a one click option for these as well. Not sure if there's an issue of space/formatting, but just thought I'd ask. I didn't see that this topic had been discussed before, but apologies if it's a duplication. Thanks!

Woah! [In reply to] Can't Post

I've never even noticed that! Pretty snazzy!

PS - I have nothing else to add Blush

I did ask about this fairly recently [In reply to] Can't Post

There's a limit on how many links they can add there and they're really meant as an enticement to home page visitors to come to the message board. So they prioritized which links to add.

In addition... [In reply to] Can't Post

there are other ways to navigate between boards.

1. The "Main Index" ring takes you to the index view of all forums, and as a plus if you're logged in it will show you how many new posts there are in each.

2. The "Jump to" menu at the bottom of each forum page allows you to jump to any board.

3. The section/forum links right under the rings at the top will take you to different levels of the forum. The One Ring Forums link takes you to the Main Index. Next is the forum section link, which will take you to the index for the section you're in (for instance, Tolkien Topics or Off Topic) and the last one in line is the forum you're in. Clicking that will take you to a refreshed forum view.

So there are a number of ways to jump from board to board but not all of them are obvious at first glance.

Ah, OK, thanks [In reply to] Can't Post

I can understand if space is limited, although it would shave valuable seconds of navigation time for me Tongue. The other options work fast enough on my laptops and phone (unlike your iPod from the sounds of it).

It's all getting a bit too much for me ... [In reply to] Can't Post

I went to bed last night after I read this, and ended up dreaming about it.

We were all very excited when "The Hobbit" button appeared at the top.
