Do you use forum jump?

Adam · 03-27-2010, 12:10 AM

In my recent attempts to optimize the forum software to reduce server load and speed up pages across the site, I've noted that perhaps one of the largest resource-savers would be the disabling of the Forum Jump menu.

However, I am willing to leave it intact given that it actually gets used. Please post in this thread if you do so and I'll take that into consideration!

I never use it Adam, tried it once or twice, but then wondered if there really would be members using this - for me redundant - tool....

It would seem a large amount of people do not understand the feature. I don't understand it nor do I use it.

I think I used it once, but it's just as easy for me to scroll up the page (scroll wheel mouse) and chose another forum after going to the main page.

Never used it... jumping forums from a small selection bar is just not intuitive imo.

It's getting disabled
