Archived forums are now visible via the "Jump To" menu.

Recently we made the archived forums hidden so that the main forum page would look a bit less cluttered. Many Scratchers gave feedback about this change on this thread. Some said they liked it, and some said they missed the archived forums and wanted a way to browse them.

Thanks to a glitch pointed out by by Chrischb, we got the idea of making these forums invisible on the main forum page, but still searchable / browsable via the "Jump To" menu. So if you'd like to browse an archived forum, just scroll to the bottom of a forum or thread and select the forum you want to browse in the pull down menu below the words "Jump To." It'll take you right to the archived forum's index page.

Thanks to all the Scratchers who shared their thoughts on this.  smile

(First post!  tongue )

Great change! I definitely think this is a good alternative to having the Archived Forums disappeared completely.

However I'm worried that some users might accidentally post in Troubleshooting for example that the archived forums aren't able to be seen yet can be accessible. Hopefully that won't happen much.

Nice idea, I think it's a good comprimise (however it's spelled  tongue ) between not having them at all and having them cluttering up the front page!  smile

Mine are visible on the index. I own you all.

Re: Archived forums are now visible via the "Jump To" menu.

Hey, they're back on the forum index again... you might want to fix that.  wink

But thanks for letting us have a way to view those forums.  big_smile

EDIT: Hey, I can't see them on the forum index now!  tongue

Re: Archived forums are now visible via the "Jump To" menu.

Yeah, it just takes a bit for your browser's cache to empty out - I believe. Although different browsers handle CSS in different ways, unfortunately. That's one of the difficulties of web development.

If anyone can still see them after refreshing a couple of times, please post to let us know. Thanks!  smile

Re: Archived forums are now visible via the "Jump To" menu.

I really like this method - they're still viewable, but they're only there if you want them to be, without adding a whole new option to have them viewable. Looks great to me!  smile

Re: Archived forums are now visible via the "Jump To" menu.

Nice! Now users who want to see them, like me sometimes, can see them, but users who don't like them cluttering up the forum page don't have to see them! big_smile
