Default Site upgrade problems
It looks like after the site change to a single style, that if I want to get to the forums, I have to figure out on my own how to do that - there's no link anywhere that says 'forums', unless it's hiding somewhere... :bandit:

Can you add a graphical link, like the old layouts had?

Thanks!

Jeff

he means the vb.org homepage, but there is a really huge link to the forums, it's the vb.org logo and as on every vB it leads to the forumhome...

There is a really huge link - unfortunately, I visit lots of sites, and so I never remember what is where. And the huge link has no indication that it gets you to the forums. You kinda have to figure that out on your own.

It'd be great if the place to click was a bit obvious, using words with a graphic, like 'forums' or 'take me to the forums'.

Make it easier on us more technically challenged folks.

Why make things

well, if it's a standard in every vbulletin board (and normally in every bulletin board) i won't call it a function just for vb freaks...

but who knows, maybe one of the admins have a heart with you and creates an extra button

Hey, 'vB freaks' is your term, not mine.

I just don't like to have to guess at things. And for my BB, there are sections where the logo doesn't take you to the vB mainpage.

Hey, if they decide to not add something, I'm sure I'll figure it out. For ease of use and intuitiveness, I'd think a plain link would be in order.

And as I type this I see my Green style is back! Along with my forum link. Ahhh. All is good in vB.org-land.

I agree that it can be frustrating to go to a forum portal page, and have to search to find the link to the actual forums.
