    What about a "today's posts" button for mobile?

    I'm thinking one below the header next to the menu button.

    On your phone you could bookmark the address the Today's Posts button takes you to, and then it's always available anyway.

      I do that already. But notice the number if tabs I have open in that screenshot? 42. Mostly Amazing rib from hitting my bookmark.

      This is what I have done for awhile now.

    Mr. Bones is right. There is one. You just have to open the "hamburger menu", the 3 horizontal lines. It's minimized by default to save screen real estate.

      That's 2 clicks. I'm talking reducing clicks by 50%!

        Plenty of wasted real estate next to the hamburger for the single most used link.

        Yeah but I bet you would if they put one there.

        It is there. Just a click and another click.

      50% less clicks. Ok. But it's still only 2 clicks, so... However, I'll ask RayJ if it can be placed there.

      Update: RayJ (raywjohnson) says no. Because vBulletin is so complex it would require building this. This would require hours of work believe it or not, and could then introduce further issues should our menus change or should vB change something or update something. If this were a GoDaddy or Wordpress website, it'd be as simple as *add tab-- link tab to Today's Posts--click save--click publish--done*. But not so with this system.

      The mobile "hamburger" menu is designed to reduce congestion on a small mobile screen, but it does require a tap to open it....so we're stuck with 2 taps.

      So if you just turn the phone sideways it magically appears, it reduces your clicks but you do have to turn the phone. Nothing in life is free

        Bookmarks on iPhone replace the content of the current tab. Looks like your only other option to have one tap and not grow to 42 tabs is to switch to an iPhone. Solved.

          I have my home page of my browser set to The Pit > Today's Posts. I open my browser, there it is! Just an idea.

            Alrighty then!

            For my peeps....

            Found a simple but crude solution.

            Check your mobile display (or make your PC/Laptop browser small like a mobile).

            New link shows on the right.

            Enjoy!

                A true IT problem. It doesn't get resolved until 3:45 a.m.! Thanks for staying up Ray J!
