Do you know where to find one?

First off, there is no longer a YaBB 1 Gold Community since they have now gone to the SP1 release.  The SP1 release removed the 'go' button and since SE is a port of the SP1 the 'go' button was never present.

The 'go' button was a feature of Y1G and resided beside the 'jump box'.  The current board you were in was highlighted in the jumpbox and to go back to the messageindex for the current board, all you had to do was click on the 'go' button.

With the emergence of SP1, this handy little feature was eliminated for what was though to be better coding by allowing the user to select the board they wanted to go to and that simple selection would start the process to take you to that board.

Unfortunately, while the new coding was impressive, it had one fatal flaw.  Let's say you were on the Announcements Board and had just looked at post that held interest for you.  Once you were finished reading that post, if you wanted to go back to the messageindex for the Announcement Board, using the 'jump to' box would not allow you to go back to where you wanted to go.  Basically you had only 3 choices to get you to where you wanted to be.
1 - you could simply hit your 'back' button on your browser.  This was an effective solution unless the post you had been reading had multiple pages and you were 3 or 4 pages into the message at which time you would have to hit your back button 3 or 4 times to get back to the messageindex for the Announcement Board.
2 - you could use the 'jump to' box, go to any other board and then use the 'jump to' box to go back to the Announcement Board.
3 - you could scroll all the way back to the top of the board and use the 'links tree'.

Yes, some say that you can simply use the inline links and put them at the bottom of the board as well as at the top.  I have seen a Mod that puts a graphic into each post that will allow you to click on it to be transported back to the top of the board.  I have also seen a Mod that places links for 'top & bottom' in the appropriate places on your board to make things easier.

Frankly, in my humble opinion, the simplest solution would be to just bring back the old Y1G 'go' button and place it to the right of the jumpbox, just where it used to be, where it worked so well and made your board just that much easier to navigate.

cheers.........

Thank you, too. Now I understand, what you are talking of.  

yeah, me to, something that would be useful where that is, is a "Go to top" button

if you want it that badly you can do this:

in subs.php line 249:
  $selecthtml = "<select name=\"values\" onChange=\"if(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value) window.location.href='$scripturl' + this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;\">";
change to:
  $selecthtml = "<select name=\"values\">";
Then in Display.php
line 524:
   
    <td align="right"><form action="$scripturl" method="GET">
    <font size="1">$txt[160]:</font>$selecthtml</form></td>
change to:
   <td align="right"><form action="$scripturl" method="GET" name="select">
    <font size="1">$txt[160]:</font>$selecthtml <input type="button" value="Go" onClick="location=document.select.values.options[document.select.values.selectedIndex].value"></form></td>

and finally messageindex.php
line 323:
     <td align="right" valign="middle"><form action="$scripturl" method="GET">
    <font size="1">$txt[160]:</font>$selecthtml</form></td>
change to:
      <td align="right" valign="middle"><form action="$scripturl" method="GET" name="select">
    <font size="1">$txt[160]:</font>$selecthtml <input type="button" value="Go" onClick="location=document.select.values.options[document.select.values.selectedIndex].value"></form></td>
hope that helps

Have you tried the test forum here?  Posters can delete their first post, it doesn't delete the whole thread though (that would be plain annoying).

they can lock the thread if they are done selling it.  If you want, then you can go along and delete the locked threads
