it would be very convenient if there was a link to the forum at the bottom of the page. like after reading a thread i have to scroll all the way up and click on the button to get back to the forum.
it isn’t necessary but it would help with navigation
why don’t you just click the button that says top on the bottom? 
or you could just click on “discussion home” on the side, that’s why the side bar was created … despite all of the anger it created
and to add sponsor ads. 
but thats what im talking about. the “discussion home” is at the near top of the page!
yes but if you push “top” it takes you to the top of the page. problem solved.
