Once you have clicked on a topic the only way back to the topic/container list page is by clicking on the beradcrum trail. This is not proving to be user friendly. Please can you add a link back to the correct forum topic list on the page showing the topic and its comments. I attache a suggestion for the link required.

Apart from this one issue it is a very usefull module, thanks a lot.

The breadcrumb trail is the standard way to navigate backwards. I plan on adding a variable at some point that will let you know when you are on the last comment so you'd be able to use that to add a link. Not sure, yet, when I'll get to it, though.

I'd like to reopen this issue. It's a real problem for me because our site does not use breadcrumbs. There really needs to be some sort of alternate option here.

I just recently posted about adding a button and then found this post.

I am having the same issue here as I cant use the breadcrumb as it links to Forum container and I need to keep my forums separate and linked to from different parts of my site. I have tried all sorts of custom bread crumbs with out result. I am now getting complaints that the forums just are not easy to navigate around.

Surly there must be a simple solution to this problem like adding a php snippet to the node. tpl php file for a post. After all there is now a link back to the topic list with the

print t('Tags') : print $terms

Any ideas would be really helpful.

Thanks,

You can either use $terms or use $node->taxonomy and pull just the forum out of the taxonomy array. Use Devel and dsm() to see the structure.

Alternately, you can use theme_breadcrumb and snip out the container before the breadcrumb is rendered.

This is still won't fix as far as a feature in the module. I'm not going to put what normally belongs in the breadcrumb into the node itself.

Ive tried everything to try and sort out how to get back to where i have just came from when viewing a thread post as per here
http://spat.tv/content/tests

Using panels (no active trail for forum)
Using blocks (unable to create forum post urls to have a structure to put forum menus on)

Ive got my menu trails all going through primary links but no breadcrumb. Only thing i have left to try is to try the forum links in the navigation menu where i think it has an active trail. Everything else working great till i get to my forum post and i don't have enough tech savy to look into what michelle has suggested. I will put it on the back burner for now so as i can get in with other things but all help would be appreciated. tx
