Suggestion: "Nav bar" at the bottom of each page

[MarkJFine]

I tend to use a lot message boards set up like this and a really helpful feature is to have the

"HughesNet Community > HughesNet Support Community > Your Thoughts..."

type nav bar at the bottom of the page as well as the top.

This way as you read through a thread from top to bottom it's right there if you want to go back in the hierarchy. Otherwise you have to scroll all the way back to the top to get to it (yeah, I'm lazy like that).

Comments?

Hi Mark!

Thanks for the suggestion, that is a good idea. I think we can make that happen. I'll have to test it out in our staging area first to see how it looks. If it doesn't screw anything else up, we'll roll it out!

Yeah, there's a "top" link, but that's two clicks instead of one... like I said, I'm lazy like that.

Actually, that's not a bad suggestion.  But, with that said, today I learned about the "Top" button.  I never even noticed that.  LOL.  

The Top button will certainly come in handy.

It is kind of squirrelled away down there. Another nav bar would be better, imo.

Cheers, Liz.

Not exactly sure what package or theme they are using for the site, but I'm pretty sure they can just copy whatever widget they use to create the bar at the top and paste it to the bottom in each of the templates. Shouldn't be too hard.

It really isn't. We can drag and drop components and customize them as needed. 😄

Can a Pizza Hut or Domino's delivery widget be added?  😛

[MarkJFine]

Lol... I would not be shocked if...

 ...and there ya go...

Check it out, nav bar at the bottom!

(I just noticed there isn't a nav bar on the posting page, I'll do this tomorrow.)

@Liz

Pretty slick!  That'll be helpful, no doubt.  

[MarkJFine]

This looks awesome... Thanks @Liz.

@Liz, looks great!

[Liz]

Thanks folks! Just added the nav bar to the bottom of the reply page.

Why yes you have...

Have already killed the habit/reaction of scrolling up, because it's always right there after the last post. Sweet.
