Make nav links to the forum actually link TO the forum

Post by vynsane » Mon Apr 12, 2010 11:30 am

For my first official suggestion thread, I suggest you link directly to the forum from the navigation of the main site. Having to click twice to get here is an unnecessary extra step.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to work on that if time permits. In the meantime, I have added an easy quicklink Lego Forums Logo on our front page for convenience.

Sweet. That will suffice for the time-being ;)

Navigation between main page and forums

Post by SpaceNinjaDino » Tue Mar 01, 2011 6:05 pm

The ability to navigate to the forums and back to the main page is nearly non-existent. From the main page, the only links to the forums are at the bottom of each post. There use to be a big button on the right side for the forums. There should be an easy button on the top tool bar to hop to the forums.

Then when in the forums, there is no way back to the main page. You are stuck there (unless you saved a previous bookmark or edit the URL manually). If one didn't know any better, they would think the entire site is just the forums.

Ideally, they would have the same header so that they would look like they are integrated, but easy links back and forth would be a good short term solution.

There actually is a link to the forum in the navigation of the 'site proper', but it's rather small.

I added the logo back. Thanks.

Home Page link is now available in the forum header as well as the bottom. ;)
