Large "Forum" banner at the top of every page

Post by Schrödinger’s Yidam »

In the "Open Dharma Forum" Mkoll posted the following in order to make a point:
No holds barred discussion on the Buddhadharma. Argue about rebirth, karma, commentarial interpretations etc. Be nice to each other.
I, for one, am of the habit of clicking on "view unread posts" and being oblivious as to the forum I am posting in. There have been cases where people have had to bring my attention to the fact that my posts was not appropriate to the forum in question.

So my suggestion is to make a decent sized banner at the top of every page of a thread saying what forum the thread is in. That way lazy guys like me won't end up posting TB appropriate stuff in the Pure Land forum, etc. I know the information is already there as a link, but it is in small print and easy to overlook.

2. I support Mingyur R and HHDL in their positions against lama abuse.
3. Student: Lama, I thought I might die but then I realized that the 3 Jewels would protect me.
Lama: Even If you had died the 3 Jewels would still have protected you. (DW post by Fortyeightvows)

I second this suggestion. Guilty of the same mistake.
