Link to main site on forum?

[slugbug]

May I suggest adding a link to the main web site on the forum. Maybe to the Benchmark Reviews.com banner on the top left. Have it point to the main site instead of the forum. Just a suggestion.

There's already a link down in the lower menu: benchmarkreviews.com (http://benchmarkreviews.com/)

Site banners usually redirect to the the site main page, which is very common. Perhaps a button would suffice.

I actually think thats a great idea. I'm gonna work one into my forums.

I like that idea Edge. That's one thing that's bugged me about vB, phpBB, etc. You can't change the target of the header image link.

Fireboard doesn't have that problem with the way it integrates so well into Joomla.

It is possible in vBulletin. it's a really simple change in the header template.

<div id="logo" align="center"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]">
you just change the link to wherever you want it

Yea its really easy. But most don't want to change their forum header logo link. Just adding a new link in the nav bar would be fine.

True, it is a fairly simple fix, but nonetheless, it should be an option in the configuration. Many who run forums are very hesitant to dig into the code.

Got any quick code snippets for that?

go to the navbar template and add the following under < tr align="center">:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.benchmarkreviews.com/">text or image</a></td>

Yep thats pretty much it.

I'm not sure how your template handles it but it should be really close to that...

Thanks for the assistance! I built a new button, and it seems to look and work fine. Everyone agree?
