I forget who said "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds", and it may well apply here. But it should be fairly easy to fix (I'm guessing).

When you're reading a root node and its replies (in the sections that admit discussions) there's usually a link somewhere on the page return you to the section the node is in. But the various sections are inconsistent in whether they have a link and where they place it. Here's what I've noticed in some of the sections:

• Cool Uses For Perl: "back to" link at bottom of page.
• Poetry: "go see more" link at top.
• Obfuscation: "go see more" link centered at bottom.
• Meditations: "back to" link at bottom.
• Perl Monks Discussion: no link.
• Code Catacombs: no link.
• Seekers of Perl Wisdom: "go to" link at bottom.

I looked, but I don't think there's a User setting that will change this. (It might be particularly well hidden.)

Actually, what I think would be really slick would be links to take you to the next and previous root node in the respective section. But that would be a lot more work, no?
