I don't like having to go back to the main forum index to go to the other forums. However, a simple pull down menu like we used to have would lose the indicator of which forums have new posts. So I think it would be good to have the forums listed on the top and bottoms of each page somewhere, along with the appropriate "All Read"/"New Posts" graphics.
Agreed.
That's a great idea. I always used the frames version of the original site so I could switch easily.
I think listing them in a smaller font with some kind of graphic to indicate new posts would be nice.
