Sometimes I click ‘new post’ and realize straight away that I was in the wrong forum.

I immediately scroll to where the forum jump normally is, not there, grrr. I have to click back, and _then_ forum jump to where I want to go.

Do you have any control over whether the forum jump gets placed somewhere?

I’ll second that.

By the way, **Lobsang** , I’ve been meaning to thank you for the links in your sig to AdAware and Spybot. So… Thanks.

You’re welcome.

I put them there mainly because googling adaware and spybot turns up bogus sites. I thought I’d save time by linking to the genuine articles.

Lobsang, why not add [Spyware Blaster](http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html) down there with AdAware and Spybot. This is a nice program that stops malware from actually ever installing in the first place.

I’ll add it to the list of stuff to look at and possibly correct if I can. (This is all stuff the techs do not have time for, so it’s up to us to fix.)

Ah, it appears that sigs are no longer on by default. :smack:
