While viewing posts a home link or to a tag link dropdown to allow navigation from the post

Like on this Live Exchange module, after posting or while reading a post there is no way to go back to a home to see filtered results quickly again without using navigation to do it.  I believe under the search there should always be navigation and you should be allowed to not have the blue buttons at the top show up at all as they take up space.

Or at least at the bottom of the thread have a way to go home.... or a Home Icon on the left side of the search field or on the right side of the search submit icon.  Something to keep you in the forum or question answer exchange other than just a search bar.

What I personally would love to see is something similar to what you have already for this page:

https://www.mandeeps.com/support/knowledgebase/folder-types

where under the search is a home icon, and then maybe the tags that are used on that post so a user can look at posts related to the tags of the post of interest.

You're welcome to create your own theme and update the template as you like. A breadcrumb doesn't make sense in Live Exchange / Forums since there is no hierarchy in categories/tags.

P.S Can you please only tag the products that are relevant to the question. Live Helpdesk or Knowledgebase does not apply to this question.

I believe the tags at the bottom help give someone somewhere else to go without searching. 

I believe my main goal of the idea of what I am wishing for is a place for when I am posting or reading in the event I change my mind about posting is still some place easy to go like the forum home.  So what I vision is same size and line as the next to the subcribe/unsubscribe link a forum home house icon.  And mabye next to that a gear for administration instead of those blue buttons at the top.

I like the option for the buttons but I also like to be able to add other buttons next to those but cannot.   So I rather just have them not there because in my menus I would have these buttons.

Maybe this can be a setting you can turn on/off to customize the forum an admins liking a little more.

The helpdesk button is linked to all the modules as buttons get created when you integrate them together, the big blue ones at top.  When linked buttons appear at the top, so I have to keep them all unlinked.  I already have a menu they can choose these areas from very close in the header using the DNN menu at top no need for it again.  Maybe it would be nice to set icons for the buttons instead of text as a choice but i suppose I can do this in the template am I correct?

I guess I need to play with creating a template first see how far I can modify the look and feel.

Please don't overcrowd with tags. It doesn't help anyone. We use tags to shortlist new features for the upcoming release. We'll just end up modifying your posts and removing unnecessary tags :)

You have COMPLETE control over the presentation with themes. Every client/business/customer has their own unique requirements for presentation; hence, the themes allow you to create whatever you like.
