We actually tried a top forum jump at one point in 2006 and it caused a huge problem with much of the other forum functions, so we had to remove it. That doesn't mean we cannot succeed if we try install another one.
In all honesty right now our top tech support priority is to finetune our new load balancer. The problem we had earlier today was caused by the only two week old load balancer. There were over 6,000 online users and the balancer is supposed to distribute logged in users (registered or not) equally between our twin servers.
Perhaps when the balancer is working reliably 100% of the time the techs can try again to install a forum jump at the top as well as the one already working at the bottom of all forum pages.
