Ideas 1 & 3 are quite simple, and now added. Timeout is now set to 30 minutes. We can try it for a few days, and see if another number might be more appropriate. Sounds like an ideal question for a poll.

Not sure if I got idea 2 right, but I think I do. Forum jump won't jump to the same forum. You can use the navigation option for previous and next thread, but you'd rather see the list of the threads, instead of surfing through all of them.

No simple solution spring to mind, except double clicking on the back button, to go back to the forum display (list of threads).

Wa'il
