New features which should be implemented in Porteus; suggestions are welcome. All questions or problems with testing releases (alpha, beta, or rc) should go in their relevant thread here, rather than the Bug Reports section.

I wish the forum webpages wouldn't loose the View Active Topics link when one signs on. To that end I suggest changing the
Code: Select all
User Control Panel (0 new messages) • View your posts
header to be:
Code: Select all
User Ctrl Panel (0 new msgs) • View your posts • View Active Topics
or
Code: Select all
User Control Panel (0 new msgs) • Your posts • Active Topics
Can this be done?

Yes, but it's only there when you 1st signon. After looking at a posting it's gone.

Yes, I have it bookmarked, but that means everything I want to use it after viewing a posting I have to go to bookmarks to use it rather than simply having it at the top of the webpage.
It's not a question of capability, it's a question of convenience.

In your case "it is gone", in my case "never been in that area of webpage". You just want duplicate of link.

I generally wanted to say "change manually address for example from
viewtopic.php?f=53&t=4286&sid=xxxxxxxxxxblahblahblah to
search.php?search_id=active_topics&sid=xxxxxxxxxxblahblahblah in browser's address bar" but I was to lazy to type it all. This way it's definitely longer.

AFAIK..one can have more than 1 Tab open...read..rightclick the "View active topics" link >
open in a new TAB > problem solved
(same if you want to read a topic)

Heretic! More than one tab in browser! Unbelievable.
No, main idea of this thread is "I want this page be accessible from anywhere on the forum in one click".
Currently it is accessible in two clicks: Board index -> View active topics.
Now on important part: how much do we get if we collect all cents scattered across the board?
