    Hi,

    Is there a quick way to navigate sub forums on the touch site that I'm missing or do you always have to hit the hamburger menu icon and start over?

    Thanks,
    doney84

    Hi doney84,

    If you're on a forum that has a sub-forum (Films, for example), its sub-forums will be listed at the top of the page (between the forum title and the section that holds the Threads heading and the Post button)

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    Thanks Mark, maybe I used the wrong terms but let's say I'm here(see attached) and I've browsed a few threads in the Terrestrial forum how do I quickly get to the Broadcasting or Satellite forums or even get to Consumer Electronics forum to browse the threads in that as they are all part of the Technology and Internet topic category?

    The only way I can seem to do this is hit the hamburger menu and navigate that way?

    Regards,

    Ah, I see! Sorry. Unfortunately, navigating via the hamburger menu would be the best way. An alternative is to search. However, the results may not produce the forum that you're looking for - searching for "Consumer" will suggest "Consumer Issues", but not "Consumer Electronics", whereas searching for "Rugby" brings up "Rugby", "Rugby League", and "Blackout Rugby".

    Replicating the breadcrumb approach of the legacy site on mobile (or an alternative way to get to the main category) is a good idea and I will suggest that as something to look at.

    Thanks Mark, yeah I think that would make navigating the site easier on mobile.

    Cheers,

    If you follow the forums that you are interested in, the My Forums button will show a list of those forums only.
