There is nothing to indicate what section a thread is in if you open it from the homepage and does it matter anyway?

[gmod]It doesn't matter how you open a thread, it tells you at the top of every page. And it does matter, otherwise why have separate sections? I suppose you would think it OK if you went to a Library looking for caving books and all the books were jumbled up regardless of subject or every time you did a google search on a subject you got totally random results absolutely nothing to do with the subject?
Many members only visit certain sections and are not happy having to wade through a lot of off-topic stuff which is of no interest or if they find a page by searching, again having a load of off-topic stuff.

Anyway, KEEP ON TOPIC. You have been warned.[/gmod]

I always thought as Simon, that when you open from the 'Home' button, as I always do, I wouldn't know what section I was in. Since your post Paul I've discovered it. I think it could do with being a bit bigger for those of us getting on a bit.

Me too - I've only just spotted it. I always use the "Show Unread Message" option. And I've fallen foul of the mods for it in the past.

And I was in the opticians earlier today who has confirmed that like Mark I must be getting on a bit.

I was talking to Badlad the other week about not knowing where you are from the 'Home' button and I don't remember him saying where it was. Maybe he doesn't know either. He does now.

Back on topic,

Off Topic - sorry Paul  - but pertinent to add here that the section info is only visible at the top and bottom of the WEB page, not the screen's viewport thereof. Maybe you could have a floating label down the left or right that was ALWAYS visible? Back on topic....

At the bottom of the page as well. Thats two things I've learned today.

If you go from "show unread" it's also just under the "new" button.

So this thread has mutated from "where to get carbide" to "where to use carbide" to "whether you can tell which section a post is in".

Must admit I hadn't spotted the one at the bottom of the page. I can't really see what all fuss is about staying on topic, if conversations go off at a tangent that's fine with me. They soon get back to the point anyway.
