Title: Link to the Front page
Post by: ShyGuy on January 27, 2009, 10:58:35 PM
Is it possible for you to put a link to the NWR front page from the forums? It would make things easier for me.
Maybe there is already a link and I can't find it.

Coincidentally, I was just thinking this today, and was about to ask somebody about it.
Anyone?

I would apreciate it.

I think you should be able to modify the header section of your index.php for the SMF theme.

Down at the bottom of the page there are a bunch of links, but personally I always liked the header image linking to the front page, just made it quick and easy to get there.

I asked about this last February. I was ridiculed. (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=23819.msg404909#msg404909)

New administration vudu, gotta get the lobbying in on the ground floor!
I never noticed the links in the footer. You could just add this code to the top of the header.

I don't think I have this power. We'll probably have to ask Aaron. Aaron? :)

Let me see if we can change this.

This so called "front page" exists? I thought it was myth!

The Windows 95 server is not advanced enough to handle that request.

I click on the banner at the top and all it does it take me to root of forums. not good not good

That top banner used to be a link to the front page, Snipper.
It's been said by others (and me) before, but I miss that link. It's silly that there isn't one. From a web design usability standpoint, you shouldn't force visitors to make changes in the address bar to get somewhere else in your site.

You know, I always wondered about that too. I like having the banner go to the forum root, but having something else there to go to the frontpage would be nice. Might make me visit it more.
Funnily enough, I read the thread title 'Link to the Frontpage' and thought it was a joke thread for 'Link to the Past' before realizing it wasn't in the Funhouse.

There's an easy way to do both. Just cut that forum header graphic in half. Have the left side (Nintendo World Report) go to the front page. Have the right side (Forums) go to the forum root.

If you're too lazy to always click through the main page to get to the forums then bookmark both the front page and the forum index.

Post by: BeautifulShy on August 18, 2009, 11:10:15 PM
That is what I do. On my Wii I have the front page and a topic in the Funhouse. On my CPU I have NWR as my homepage.

I'm sure that the people who work on the technical aspects of this site have issues higher up on the list than this.
It's a 30 second project, if you stop in the middle to go buy a soda.

Post by: that Baby guy on August 20, 2009, 02:51:01 PM
If you do go get a soda, could you grab me a back of chips?
I know that at least with the display settings I've got, you can click the "Home" button to get to the forum's home page. If that's true with the other main looks, why not just make the banner link to NWR's frontpage? Makes business moogle sense to me.

Post by: NWR_DrewMG on August 20, 2009, 02:54:24 PM
I feel like there's already a somewhat substantial disconnect between the staff and the forums, and being unable to surf from the forums to the main page doesn't exactly help.
Also, thatguy, they only have Jalepeno chips, hope that's okay!

Post by: that Baby guy on August 20, 2009, 03:13:42 PM
Hmm, nah, forget it.
Yeah... I don't know why I skip over the "Talkback" section so much now. It makes no sense to me, at this rate. I'd love to figure out a way to bridge it with the rest of the forum, but I don't think that'd be so simple; you'd have to make the talkback posts show up on the game's thread on the other forum. Seems like that wouldn't work out very well.

They fixed the problem.
See all we had to do is annoy them forever to fix it.
Now I say we move onto search and Members birthdays.

search works sometimes, if you use advanced search, and know exactly what you're looking for, and it helps if you know who posted it and in what forum.... but it works.... sometimes.

I use Google search since this hasn't been resolved yet.
