Even without the smiley faces, my originial comments about the thread needing a new forum was meant to be taken in jest, it certainly wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

i am asking a navigation question. how does one hop between the 4 major divisions? </font>
I just back arrow to the forum page, then one more click and I'm back at the page asking which forum to choose. I find that the easiest way, since it's usually only one more click back from where I end up when I am done with everything in this thread.
