I have made a few changes to the forums and the way they behave, let me know how they work for you. 

The first change is to duplicate the code that has the options, "Mark all read, Recent Posts, Unread Posts" at the bottom and copy them to the top. So now you should see those options which I hope are useful to navigate your way to those. With our previous forum application, we had that "Activity" button at the top that I think most people used.

This forum application defaults to show the list of all the forums which isn't that useful if you come here often. But those useful options were only shown at the bottom which meant you had to scroll all the way down the long list of forums if you ever even noticed those options. Now I have copied them to the top. You're welcome!

The other change I made is to redirect logins to the "recent posts" page. Again, bypassing the default long list of forums. This is useful for new users logging in or people who often log out. But remember I added a "persistent login" feature that will extend the auto-logout feature from 48 hours to 365 days. So if you are staying logged in you may not see that redirection to the recent posts. 

Just trying to streamline the user experience and make it more useful. Let me know if you think it is useful.
