Can we not have a nice big button or icon to "toggle" between the two General Discussions.

I.E. a prominent large icon at the top centre of the page, click it to flick to the "other" general discussion.....then click the same button to go back to the CAR one

Just thinking that most peeps (maybe as much as 98%) will only be viewing these two very active forums anyway

Whilst this is actually a decent idea, i cant help thinking that people would then want a link to each forum as well...

2 initial thoughts....

1) Theres teh pulldown menu bottom right.
2) Could put a link to each in "LINKS" top right corner of your internet explorer browser.

Any other feedback welcome...

Or, as stated, just use the menu that already exists that allows you to jump instantly to any forum on here.

Surely just having 2 IE windows open in your lower task bar, would be just as easy a solution - one for Car Related and one for NON Car Related.

Hate Firefox, it's slow. It constantly made my laptap hang. Fortunately, I am not one of the lazy arses who can't be bothered to do 2 clicks of the mouse to switch forums.

Sounds like no one else has a problem, so i guess it must just be your laptop love?

Like most windows applications (including IE) if you leave it open for weeks and weeks and use it a lot it seems to suffer from garbage collection problems and ends up using more memory evenutally, but thats an operating system flaw not the application i think?
