added functionality for links to each thread.

I am suggesting that this code
Code:
<td class="alt1Active" align="left" id="f3" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFED8'; this.style.cursor='hand';" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF';" onclick="window.location.href='f3/index.html'">
		<div>
			<a href="forumdisplay.php?f=3"><strong>IMO Community</strong></a>
			<span class="smallfont">(67 Viewing)</span>
		</div>
		<div class="smallfont">Non-tech discussion here.</div>

		
		
	</td>
be modified and then implemented when browsing each forum, as it is on the forum index (which is where above code is used, and probably is copyrighted to TechIMO or whomever). The idea is that you can click anywhere in the TD tag that the site uses for each thread when you mouse over them to open the thread. like this:
Code:
<td class="alt1" id="td_threadtitle_200097" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFED8'; this.style.cursor='hand';" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF';" onclick="window.location.href='f3/index.html'">

If I'm understanding your suggestion correctly you want to make the entire TD an active link as it is on the main page. The problem with that suggestion is that within the TD for specific threads also lies links for specific pages, last page, user profiles ect. its not a single specific link as it is on the main page for subforums.

I just downloaded the page and gave it a test run locally. I like the idea, make the whole td a link to the first page of the post, same as clicking on the text link to the post. If done with javascript, this is overridden by the <a> tags inside of the td so you don't lose the ability to add the extra links!

I would guess that the same subroutine (looping, I'd imagine) creates the code for each thread, each existing TD, so can't this HTML just be incorporated into that sub/function. This is PHP, right?
obviously this will increase the amount of data that needs to be transferred to the visitor, so perhaps that's an issue with it potentially increasing load times.

the data is already being pulled from the database, so it shouldn't add an extra database query. It shouldn't include much more scripting to make this work. It shouldn't be too much more html code either
