Forum Jump

* Forum Jump or Page jump which ever you like to call it, is located under the home bar. The second bar as shown in the picture down below underlined in blue is where you can find the forum jump.

* Now to open up the forum jump drop down menu, just move your cursor//mouse to the little section just behind the word home( or whatever word happens to be there, depends what page your are viewing..for example recent posts//profile//messages those are just some words that could pop up there) . Hover the mouse on the bottom half of the panel. If you have done that correctly then the bit your cursor is on should highlight just like in the picture below that is circled in purple. Without clicking that highlighted button the forum jump menu should come up just like seen in the picture below also and that is circled in pink. Now some computers may and may not let your cursor hover down the forum drop down menu once it appears, if that happens simply press the down arrow key on your keyboard and one of those sections should get highlighted then you can move your mouse button accordingly to which ever section you wish to go to.

* You can access this forum jump menu from about anywhere on SCR. From recent posts, from you profile and your messages, boards and boards within boards. below there is a couple examples.

*Now here is the awesome part of pro-boards forum jump. Say for example you have clicked into one of the board areas say thunderclan camp the second bar will look something like this.

*(Still using Thunderclan camp as example)You can hover you cursor over the words Thunderclan territory and a drop down menu should come down showing all of Thunderclans areas! how great is that.. but if your looking for a different area, all you simply do is move your cursor a little further back behind the first category, to get the sites full drop down menu as Seen in the two pictures below.

*Now on the other end of this second bar on the right side, you will see a box named participated. Clicking on this box a window will pop up showing you the recent places that you have posted in, instead of searching the site you can find it there.Picture below.
