Link back to forum from thread view

[vol_freak]

Sorry for the noob question but I just recently started using vb (long time ipb user) and I find it annoying when you reach the end of a thread you have to scroll all they way down to the Forum Jump dropdown menu. I would like to add a link in betwen "Previous Thread" and "Next Thread" that would take you back to the forum view (list of posts in the forum you are currently reading).

Does that make any sense? I don't have any idea where to start.

Thank you in advance.

Hmm,

Do you want the same breadcrumb style of the postbit template?

I'm sorrry but you lost me. Let me try this. Below this post instead of:

? Previous Thread | Next Thread ?

I would like to see:

? Previous Thread | vB3.5 Modification Questions | Next Thread ?

Hello,

There are several modifications on this site that will display a mini navbar in threads, etc. (Giving you the effect you arelooking for.)

We just added the navbits under the previous / next, so you get this effect ;

? Previous Thread | Next Thread ?

vBulletin.org Forum > vB3.5 Modifications > vB3.5 Modification Questions

That would be great. Where could I find that code and where would I put it?

Thank you all for your patience, like I said I am still figuring out the vb templates.

In the SHOWTHREAD template ;

Find ;

<if condition="$show['quickreply'] OR $show['ajax_js']">

and add above it ;

<div class="navbar" align="center" >
<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a>
$navbits[breadcrumb]
</div> 
<br />

Job done.

Something else you might want to look at is this...

? Previous Thread | New Posts | Next Thread ?

I've done that at my forums and I don't know what I'd do without it. It makes reading new posts SO much easier

That's not a bad idea either.
