yes there is... In the template (NAVBAR, i believe it is) make your code for the 'welcome' section as follows (adjusting the url in green below to path you would use:

<div class="smallfont">
			<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />
			<phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>
			<br /><if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
				<a href="http://www.****.com/forums/private.php?"><img border="0" src="http://www.****.comt/forums/images/newpm.gif" width="22" height="10"></a>
				</if>
			<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>
		</div>
