Link from boards to main site

Postby Toadalette » 18 May 2008 16:37

I think that we need a link from the boards to the main site. I've looked all over the page and there's seems to be no way to get there.

Maybe you could make it that the banner at the top of the page linked to the main site rather than the forums, or you could add it to that grey bar at the bottom of the banner. However you would do it, I think that it would be very useful.

THe banner at the top used to lead to the actual site.

Yeah, I remember when it used to link back to the GoNintendo homepage, but since the introduction of the other two boards (Sony and Microsoft), the link just goes to the Nintendo Message Boards. I think a link to all the sites (Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony) could easily be fit into the banner at the top of the page.

it's a good idea, and yes, we used to have such a feature. it's something we've tried to implement into our current themes, but have had technical difficulties when trying to automatically go to the site whose banner is atop the page :-P

we may have to find some other solution...since all the sites are actually related, we might as well have links to all three on each page. i'll see what we can do.

thanks for the suggestion!

I think the banners are already set to go to the "root" of their repective site's forum (Clicking on the MS banner takes to to the root of the MS forums). I can reset them so they go to the actual sites instead if you want Cort.

why not just put a link next to the FAQ-link on the top right?
just call it "Site" or something like that.
