Direct individual forum access from the homepage

[noah]

I would love to be able to go directly to an individual forum without the redundancy of clicking the forum link at the homepage first.

Perhaps an expandable sidebar menu. Or the individual forum links listed below the main links at the top of the page - why not include these from the homepage? Maybe with some fanciness that gives you a pull-down menu showing the last five posts when you move your mouse over the links... well now I am just asking to be spoiled.

But really, I love the convenience of seeing the latest posts from the homepage, so that is always my first stop when I visit HB - it is just kind of redundant to have to click on the forum link every time to get to a particular forum.

either bookmark http://www.home-barista.com/forums/ or just type forums in the address bar. If your cache is not cleared you'll have a list visited H-B forums

I think most regulars go directly to the forum as Ian suggests (I use the View unread topics), but even first-time visitors would probably appreciate the sub-navigation bar on the homepage. It looks a little busier with the extra navigation bar, but maybe it will grow on me. Thanks for the suggestion.

I start at the front page and always have (to watch for new content) I would never come to your house and enter via the bedroom window.

Thank you for implementing this! I always start at the front page and open new tabs with whatever topics I want to look at, the Marketplace, and now that the new links are up, the Lever forum.

I think my first reaction to seeing the links was: "Finally!"
