Each car forum now has its own gallery....but, once you go to that marque's gallery, how do you get directly back to the marque's forum?
 
Couple ways I guess. Use the back button. I have a button on my mouse that I programmed to do that. Another way is to use the "Hop To" drop down field towards the bottom of whatever page your on. That will take you anywhere in the forum.
 
There is a Forum "tree" - the list just below the British flag in the logo at the top of the page. Example below = follow the "tree" to "MG" and click it.

British Car Forum » Forums » British Automobiles » MG » MG Gallery
 
Guess I should've stated the question thusly:

How do you 'easily' navigate directly from the marque gallery to the marque forum?

The "Index" button in that takes you directly back to the list of threads in a forum appears once you're in the marque gallery but if you click on it, it takes you to a larger gallery, not back to the marque forum. Once in that larger gallery, the 'index' button doesn't exist so you have to go through one of the above options or go to the header & click on 'forums'.
 
I think the “Index” button takes you to the top of whatever forum (or sub forum) you are in. You don’t see it when you at the top level of any forum because it would just reload the same page you are on, a “loop” as it were. If you think of BCF as a book, each forum would be a chapter. The index is a list of each chapter’s contents. Sorry, I know that doesn't really answer your question.

Yep, & the marque forums are apparently a subforum of the gallery, not the particular marque's forum....so, when you clikc on "index" it takes you to the big gallery forum.
 
Tony -

Did you try what I mentioned, or did I not understand what you're trying to do?
 
What you said works, Mickey - I was just hoping there was one button to push to get back to the specific marque forum from the marque's gallery....apparently, there isn't.

<span style='font-family: Courier New'><span style="color: #006600">There IS a way to get from a Gallery forum back to the main forum for that marque. For example, if you are in the MG Gallery forum (either in the Gallery Index page or looking at a specific post) and you want to get back, for example, to the MAIN MG forum, you simply use the Breadcrumb navigation links.

THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS NEAR THE END OF THE VIDEO SO BE PATIENT!!
