I'm currently playing around with the webinterface and developed a possibility to add an intelligent back link into the host and results view pages. This link would determine if the user is logged in and than create a link on top and bottom back to the Your Account page. I can also make the link go back to the Your Computers page when browsing the results of a specific host. For me it is annoying to get stuck at a point and have no other link than back to main page.

What are you thinking about is this usefull?

Shouldn't the link at the bottom point to the Your Account site when logged in?

Please tell me your thoughts so i can develop some samples.

Sounds good. Usually I just use the 'back' button on my mouse but in certain circumstances that may not be the most efficient - and of course many users don't have such a button :) I have been thinking about adding such links to my stats site. Maybe in the next upgrade... Another place that links would be helpful is right here on the message boards. There is the link at the top to go back to "Number crunching" or "Message boards". I think copying those links to the bottom of the page would be wonderful. In long threads, it would make getting back to the message board easier.

My 2 cents are herby officially spent :)

EDIT: Errr... I'm not sure what I'm on but those links I spoke of are already in place. I think I was thinking of our team forums :) I must be tired or something. As long as I can make it to the airport in a few hours I'll be fine!
