Wondering if it would be possible to put a link to the forum home page at the bottom of each topic page, like there is at the top of each such page?

This is just a matter of convenience in order to get back to a refreshed home page after reading thru a topic, without having to scroll back to the top of the page for the link.
Clicking the "back" button doesn't yield a refreshed page, I believe. I could be wrong on that.

Good idea. It would also be nice if multi-page threads could have the page numbers at the bottom too. Reading all the way down the page and then scrolling back up to get to the next page seems a little quirky.

Unfortunately, it can't be done with the software our hosts provide. We've looked into it, and passed this, and some other suggestions along, but unless they do a major upgrade at some point, it won't happen. I'd love to seem a set of buttons over the post box that would insert common HTML into the box to make it easier to post links and pictures and sound, but it's not within the sites capabilities. It took us a couple years to get a glitch fixed that screwed up HTML you posted as text if you edited your post. It even screwed up the how to page sometimes. All the spots where I posted HTML as text (using a little bit of HTML magic so people could copy it) would revert to regular HTML each time I edited something. I actually submitted a long list of things it would be cool if they updated. They are in a tough position. I don't think sites with forums are their main business, and they don't want to tinker with the software in ways that could make it unstable. They do seem to have improved reliability, and they've added a tool that lets us delete spam much faster when it happens. Just the other day, I noticed the bottom nav bar on the main forum page doesn't even display the correct page if you go past the first page.

I've tried work-arounds for some of the things. My Thread Threads were an attempt to crowd source keeping some of the information on the site organized. Bluemoose made his web-brain to help keep track of Adam and Jason's videos.

Ah well. Not that big a deal. Just thought it would be a nice little added touch of convenience. It won't ruin my day. Thanks.
