Main logo link when in forum
Re: Main logo link when in forum
I have reverted this change. We will use polls in future to get an agreement on such changes.
Re: Main logo link when in forum
The "Spectrum Computing" just to the left of "Forum home" now looks a bit redundant.
But it works for me.

Ignore him Peter! Looks fine! Thanks for changing.

Re: Main logo link when in forum
Just to be clear, I was not asking for it to be changed.
Just noticed the redundancy, since it links to the same URL as the main logo.
Hi, R-Tape
Re: Main logo link when in forum
You're right.
There should be a "Forum home" in the first place, because the logo now links again to the main SC web page.
It's not a big deal, but it would look more natural.

Re: Main logo link when in forum
Wow, a fight, and after only a few days since most current members discovered this forums existence
Maybe the link in the logo should go to a new page that is neither the web site home page or the forum home page, but instead is a page which has (currently) two big, easy to see (and use) links, which at the moment will be to the web site home page and to the forum home page.
Further, you could add say, a couple of other useful links, one useful example being, to say, the forum active topics page.
Oh, and by the way, this problem affects other forums where there is also a main site with other content, so the issue is not new...

This is normally where both camps are supposed to turn around and yell, 'Shut up!'.1024MAK wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2017 6:55 am Maybe the link in the logo should go to a new page that is neither the web site home page or the forum home page, but instead is a page which has (currently) two big, easy to see (and use) links, which at the moment will be to the web site home page and to the forum home page.
I dunno, I've never seen it as a problem. IIRC even the old WoS forums worked the same way. I'm not even sure why anyone would want to move back and forth to the main site using a link on top of the forums in the first place, while on the other hand you might probably want to come back to the main page of the forums somewhat often if you were browsing the forums. So it makes sense.

Re: Main logo link when in forum
Personally, on phpBB based forums, nearly the only time that I use the home page, is on forums where I am a moderator and am checking each sub-forum. Normally I just use either a bookmark to the active topics page, or use the quick links (top left of the page) to get to the active topics page.
