Forgive me because I have no idea what you'd call these links, what I mean are these:

They only show four, and I'd love it if they could show all of them. If you click on a thread in a subforum, the title replaces one of those links (sometimes it's the main forum section, sometimes it's the subforum), making it harder to navigate back to the forum section you want

Yeah, I agree that the forum navigation since the update has been really weird. I don't think it's very necessary to have the thread title and the "reply to post" thing in the navigation bar when you are in a particular thread. This new way is just confusing and strange.

The "reply to post" is there so when you click it you can quickly jump to the quick reply form. I only think the topic title should be removed
