I like how community has been integrated to forums (or forums integrated to community part of site). However, in this process there has been lost easy way to return to front page of forums, once you have dived to some topic reading it. Before MongoDB logo brought one to forum frontpage, now it takes you to community page.
Maybe add forums next to Learn and Community on header? Without direct link to forum start, I think it is three clicks to get there via current navigation options. Or I didn’t find any easier way, which is also a bit bad.
Hello @Prasad_Saya,
yes the u shortcut is fairly handy, I didn’t mention this as example since @kerbe asked for the start page.
The use of keyboard shortcuts is anyway a very personal thing. E.g. I like to use:
g,n – to go to the new posts
o – to open a post
u – to go back
j – to move to the next post
Since this “back link” has been asked multiple times: To add a top link to the start page as @kerbe suggested can be helpful. Would that fit to the future plans @Stennie_X, @Jamie?
Keyboard shortcuts are neat, but they don’t work for me. On my own computers I always use some Vim -keybinding plugins (Vimperator, Pentadactyl, Vimium or similar), so sites own keyboard shortcuts doesn’t work (or well, need to escape from browser extension to pass them through to site, which makes it more complicated )
I have mouse with more buttons than I have figured sensible bindings for, and I use it’s back/forward quite often in browsing. Still, there are times when I prefer to get into very beginning of forum, and not backtrack there
Thank you @Doug_Duncan, I hadn’t noticed link down there. I was simply looking it from topside of page. This helps me to move around a bit more easier.
Quick update, y’all. We have changed the top Community nav link to point directly to the forums homepage, both here and on DevHub until the nav menus get built out more. Cheers
