Navigation from end of thread to forum view

Hey Timan, heya Stevie,

Here's another suggestion:

The latest forum skin misses the "Forum Jump" combo box at the thread footer.

Ever since the switch to vBulletin I was using this to get one level up again, kinda "cd ..".

Now we have the following:

« Previous Thread | Next Thread »

I'd suggest the following instead:

« Previous Thread |Comments & Suggestions | Next Thread »

Of course, with the current forum name. If its too much hassle, a simple "up" would be sufficient. Since I can't see whether I am in the first or last thread when I followed a frontpage link, please have it display as:

« Previous Threadshowthread.php?t=22652&goto=nextoldest |Comments & Suggestions | Next Thread »

If there is no thread in either direction.

From the older forum I also miss the "Previous Newest" and "Next Newest" links, but they mostly led to a "there are no newer topics than this one" page, which is dumb, because you need not offer such a link in the first place, when there is no place to go to...

hth,

herd (aspiring php coder)

I second that. That would be a good idea, having the parent forum at the thread bottom like that.

Oh come on, Timmeh. You can do it ;) .

EDIT: [OT] Timan, go get the vB 3.0.6 update. [/OT]

random guess: in aquasoft-style.xml, put a

  <a href="../../unavailable.html">$forum[title]</a>

in between

 		 <strong>«</strong> <a href="../../unavailable.html">$vbphrase[prev_thread]</a> | <a href="../../unavailable.html">$vbphrase[next_thread]</a> <strong>»</strong>

but this is just a random guess. ;)
