Link to the main site from the forums...

Post by Zestanor » Sun Jan 01, 2012 11:46 pm

I just had a thought. It's not very easy to find your way back to the main site after you've come to the forums. Maybe the big link at the top (DAIZENSHUU EX www.daizex.com) should actually take you to www.daizex.com? I may have the site bookmarked, but others who don't know about the main site may not be smart (can't think of a better word) enough to type in the URL.

"There's a site too?!" :lol:

Yeah I've always thought this was a good idea (don't know why I haven't suggested this myself) Though I like having the big logo at the top leading to the index page so I would prefer it to be next to it or something. But anyway I'm all for this. :)

Definitely a good idea. I know there are 2 common methods for advertising links on phpBB. One of which changes where the banner directs to, and the other adds a column above the Board Index link.

I prefer the banner method myself, but the list of links could be used to advertise Daizex, Temple of Trunks, and Kanzentai. If that's something you're interested in.

The banner method is much neater IMO.

Old Code:

Code: Select all

 <td><a href=http://daizex.fanboyreview.net/index.php>http://daizex.fanboyreview.net/styles/subsilver2/imageset/site_logo.png</a></td>
New Code:

Code: Select all

<td><a href=http://daizex.com>http://daizex.fanboyreview.net/styles/subsilver2/imageset/site_logo.png</a></td>
(Although, I'm sure Mike already knows how to do this.)

Overall, this forum gets so much traffic that there should be a visible link to the main site. Also, from a business stand point, I personally would want to direct forum traffic to the main site. That's where most revenue to maintain everything would be coming from. Not to mention all the helpful info that can be found there.
