A silly little request about "forum jump"

The "forum jump" menus at the tops and bottoms of the pages, as well as the DVDT homepage are different.

The one on the top is not organized (with the dashes for sub-forums) and does not list all of the forums. The one on the bottom lists them all and is organized very well. (Also, it lists the "Moderator" forum.)

Could we have all of the drop-downs list the same thing, including the front page?

It's picky, I know, but the navigation would be a little easier for us forum-jumpers.

I thought that the different Jumps were intentional, but I've never figured out why they would be different. I think the bottom one allows Mods to Jump to the Mods forum I believe.

The 'non-organized' one looks like it may have been hand-coded and allows someone to jump to other areas of DVDTalk that may not be related to the forum (Front Page, Reviews, Coupons, etc.), while the 'normal' "Forum Jump" is automatically created by the forum software so is always up-to-date.

I would like to see the two "Forum Jump's" match more closely as well.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I've been swamped on my end, pulling a number of late night work sessions....

In any case. I have tried to duplicate the forum menu on the bottom up top but opted for the way it is now as many people like to jump to the forum of their choice using the first letter in the forum

(ie people select the drop box and click 'O' to get to the other forum).

The way the forum software does it at the bottom doesn't allow that....

Hmmm. I didn't know it worked that way. Thanks for the inside tip!
