Those aren't just links, those are paths through the category and forum. There is something at the bottom of each thread/forum that lets you jump to other forums.
I realize that it's a path through the forums, but to get to "General" you have to go through "The Elder Scrolls". It makes no sense to even have "General" on there, given Community Discussion is the only forum in that category. I just think there should be a link to "The Elder Scrolls" forum, so that navigating from CD back to say the Lore forum, is much easier.
Edit.
Actually, now that I noticed, it seems CD is considered a completely separate forum from the rest of the board. Maybe the guys working on this could implement some sort of link back to whichever game forum, i.e. Fallout, TES, Brink, ect., you went through to get to CD.
The reason being, I never visit any other forums than The Elder Scrolls and it's sub-forums, so having to navigate back to the main page every time just to get back into The Elder Scrolls forum is annoying.
