if you use IE, like most of us, use the LINKS toolbar. Drag it down below the other toolbars so it's on a line by itself, delete all the default links that MS puts in there, then go to each of the forums you frequent most and Add To Favorites/LINKS for each of them. Shorten/rename the forums to something easy and short, like FBACK, FORUMS, or XP, and then arrange them in the order to prefer them to be in by just dragging them around. I can fit 15 of them across that toolbar before I get to the chevrons on the right end that then drops down when clicked to show me the rest of them. By including the FORUMS list link to the toolbar, I can easily get to the other forums that I don't go to frequently, but my others are pretty handily one click away.
