A navigation suggestion - for down the road
When a guest selects "View active topics" they are presented with the search results and "Return to advanced search". It seems that what they want is "Refresh active topics" although about 20 % do go on to actually perform a search
We see this pattern in our log files over and over "View active topics" -> "Return to advanced search". -> "Board Index" -> "View active topics"
where we would expect to see "View active topics" -> "Board Index" -> "View active topics"
This may only be consideration on active forums but I thought it worth mentioning anyway.
btw Outstanding Job on the forum package

Re: A navigation suggestion
There is an "Advanced Search" link right below the quick search in the header.
But if they wanted to refresh the Active Topics (which I do often myself here on area51 and phpBB.com), in default prosilver, you have to go back to index and click Active topics again. -- In subSilver2, this is not an issue because both new posts and active topics are in the header. -- On my own site, I added both to the overall_header because they are used so often and it saves at least a page load for everyone performing this action.
