If I'm wanting to move from one "talk" or "forum" to another, do I always have to go back through my dashboard?

Thanks 

Melanie, do you know about tabbed browsing? What this lets me do is always keep my dashboard open (so I don't have to keep reloading it) and then open each forum in a different "tab". In Firefox, you can open a link in a new tab just by holding down the Ctrl key when you click (On mac, it's the Apple key) ... not sure about IE (sorry!)....

If that doesn't work, I'm open to suggestions. What did you have in mind? 

I'll try the "new tab" suggestion but will probably just go through the dashboard - it's not that hard!  I was wondering, however, why the "Talk" and "Blogs & Forums" are not listed in the upper right as are "Teams" and "People" and "Actions." That's where I got confused and thought I was missing the path.
Ah, interesting! That makes a lot of sense ... I want to keep that menu as simple as possible (events will go there, eventually -- ha!), but I think that's a really good suggestion, too................. food for thought. Hi, Mel!
