Brogan submitted a new resource:

Change thread titles in thread view into URL links (version 1.0) - A simple template edit to make it easy to load the base thread URL.

Open the thread_view template.

Find this on the second line:
HTML:
<xen:h1>{xen:helper threadPrefix, $thread}{$thread.title}</xen:h1>

Replace with this:
HTML:
<xen:h1><a href="{xen:link threads, $thread}">{xen:helper threadPrefix, $thread}{$thread.title}</a></xen:h1>

This does exactly the same as clicking the thread creation date so it is a bit superfluous in that respect but it makes it easy to load the base thread URL from any page of the thread.

Hey Brogan can you please consider creating a version for the subforum title? I noticed that being able to click on it would be a more convenient way to refresh the subforum listing, especially if you had clicked on a category in the thread prefix listing modification.

I like this, but the underline hover behaviour is a bit distracting. It can be removed by adding this to extra.css

Code:
h1 a:hover { 
text-decoration:none!important; 
}
 
Does this still work in 1.5? Just that when I try to apply the link URL in PAGE_CONTAINER the URL simply goes to /threads/ with no thread number in the URL.

ie:

Code:
                                <h1><a href="{xen:link threads, $thread}"><xen:if
                                    is="{$h1}">{xen:raw $h1}<xen:elseif
                                    is="{$title}" />{xen:raw $title}<xen:else
                                    />{$xenOptions.boardTitle}</xen:if></a></h1>
