There doesn't seem to be. We will have to put that on the list.
For now, I think a faster way to get back will be to click on an item in the news feed, most likely a person you are following's post, which will bring you back to our forums. You'll just have to click the breadcrumbs to get back to the IC forum that post was on.
Thanks. One easy fix would be to have the same exact menu that is found across the top of the forums page on every page. Then, no matter where you are, you always have the same complete menu at the top to help you get where you want to be.
This is what I mean by "Consistent header" in the feedback list.
Update on my forum non-condensed font request: I increased the size of my fonts in settings to the max size. Once I did that, it actually did more than increase the font size. It changed the font in the body of a post to one that is not condensed. The condensed font remains everywhere else in the forums content, but going away from the condensed font in the body much improves my experience as a reader. This is usable now.
I find that the app crashes repeatedly while on the message boards. I'll be able to look at a few threads, then it freezes up. Refreshing does nothing so I have to restart the app. I'm on an Android phone.
Still unable to login on iPad. I'm not going to disable my ad-blocking extension to be able to do that, so I'm not sure about this place going forward. Having to pay extra to demote ads when I'm already paying for membership really leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and the overall feel of the site and navigation of the site are off-putting to me, like the old Fox Sports days. It feels like the late 90s rather than the super high tech boards that were touted. Hope IC can get On3 to make some changes.

Majority of problem reports on app seem tied to Android. Uninstall/reinstall fixed it for another user here. Give that a try. It gets updated often. Will share with the tech team.
The app is still completely unusable on iOS — at least 20 seconds of spinning circle before being able to load a Forum. I’m willing to give this a chance a few more weeks, but On3 really needs to step it up. This is not Inside Carolina quality, at all.

Is there a way to minimize ads besides paying the extra cost? They pop up all over the place and they’re embedded in stories. You try to scroll through a story and you get stuck on an ad. It really disrupts your experience.
Please DM (conversation) or email me a screenshot so I can see where ads are popping up all over for you. They should not interrupt message board content flow, for starters.
@BenSherman how many likes on this post to put the body of the article into the first post of a thread?
Understand how convenient that was. Had a lot of major drawbacks behind the scenes so it's a tough sell to the network.
I.e., halving the page views and the amounts On3 can charge for all of these terrible ads.
I have a new feature if possible. Can pages within threads be limited to 20 posts instead of 40? So once a thread hit's 20 posts, it will start a 2nd page. 40 posts - third page, etc.
This is interesting - the opposite of the requests we used to get. What's the thinking here that shorter pages (more ) is better than longer pages (and less overall)?
It’s more a personal preference, and I definitely understand how others prefer more posts within a page. I like to bookmark threads at the start of pages so I know exactly where I left off. Especially longer threads.
Perhaps there’s a way to make it an individual preference in Settings?
Thank you for explaining. It probably also depends on platform. Easier to zip through more posts per page in desktop, for example
I don’t know how to do what you’re asking but as an example I was reading Buck’s column today and there are 6 ads embedded in the store - don’t remember all 6 but one was Best Buy and one was Body Armor sports drink.

This seems to now be fixed. Please confirm if it's still a problem on your platform.
