Could you add a link to the topic from a thread?

I was just viewing a thread which was under a topic I would not usually look at, and had only seen it because it was in active. I had wanted to quickly navigate directly to that topic from the thread and have a look at any other threads under the same topic. I am on mobile so I instead had to switch to the topic section and then filter to try and find the topic .

It's minor but just thought I would raise it in the hope it's an easy one for you to add a direct link in?

Thanks

Hi OP

Thanks for flagging this.

Can we just get a screenshot of the missing topic option on mobile site, and ask what device and browser you're using to access the site?

It's not that the topic section is missing. It is more of an enhancement request - I am asking if it would be possible for me to say click the topic name at the top underneath the thread title and it could navigate me directly to that topic so I can see all the other threads... currently I would need to click topics at the bottom then search.

The current user experience:

  1. User sees a thread in active threads
  2. User navigates into the thread to view it
  3. User wants to view all other threads under the same forum topic
  4. User needs to click topics at bottom
  5. User needs to filter/search for topic

Desired user experience I am requesting:

  1. User sees a thread in active threads
  2. User navigates into the thread to view it
  3. User wants to view all other threads under the same forum topic
  4. User clicks the topic name at the top of the thread and is taken directly there

Your requested navigation option already exists towards the top of the page. Agree it might be useful to have it at the bottom of a thread as well but I just use the Top option to scroll to the top quickly and and then click the name of the topic.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up, Drinks! Sometimes even us mods do these things so reflexively that they're hard to describe.

Unless I've completely misunderstood, this already exists (red section in my screenshot)
