Add a link to the Pav

[Wavelength]

I might be missing something, but the only link I know of on the Pavilion Forums to the Pavilion main page is all the way at the bottom, and I only just found it now when I was looking for it.

I thought it might be a good idea to place a big, colorful link to the main Pavilion page at the top of the Forums pages. Just my two cents.

hmm...It'd be nice to put the "RPG Maker Pavilion" as a subdirectory of the main page if you could

^Put that link at the bottom before this one?

I never knew about that other link, but now trying it out, I'm not too fond of it so I dont care either way

Re: Add a link to the Pav

just how hard is it to remove "forum" from the URL?

Re: Add a link to the Pav

At least twice as hard as clicking on the logo.



I'm just saying.

Re: Add a link to the Pav

Obviously not real hard, just like it's not hard to go down to the link on the bottom or save it to my favorites. I made the suggestion for the people who didn't know--who linked to the Pavilion Forums from somewhere else and don't know there's much more than just the forums. It was a good while (a year or so?) before I knew about the front page of the Pavilion. Perhaps it's that I missed something obvious, or perhaps the name "Pavilionboards.com" makes one think that the Boards (Forums) constitute the entire site. I don't really want to argue for or against it, but rather just throw up the idea, explain why I proposed it, and see if it makes sense.

We must not be on the same wavelength.

Har har.

Re: Add a link to the Pav

"pavilionboards.com" is the forum's own domain name.
"rpgmpavilion.com" is the site's domain name.

the logo linked to the site for a very, very long time. the semi-recent upgrade to a newer version of vBulletin broke that, and has no option to restore it. It will be done when possible.

Re: Add a link to the Pav

why cant you do this?

<div style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;width:209px;height:85px;"><a href="http://pavilionboards.com/" target="_self"><img src="http://www.pavilionboards.com/forum/images/misc/vbulletin3_logo_white.gif" border="0"/></div>

It puts an exact copy of the vbulletin over the existing vbulletin sign with a shortcut to pavilionboards.com, Im also not sure the left and top dimensions either, I know "0" isn't them



or if you have access to the script

<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
	<td align="left"><a href="index.php"><img src="http://www.pavilionboards.com/forum/images/misc/vbulletin3_logo_white.gif" border="0"
alt="RPG Maker Pavilion" /></a></td>
	<td align="right">
		&nbsp;
	</td>
</tr>
</table>

in this line

<a href="index.php">

change <a href="index.php"> to <a href="http://www.pavilionboards.com">

Re: Add a link to the Pav

believe it or not, I know what I'm talking about.

You cannot edit the raw files within vbulletin. it's menu-driven. you fill out fields in menus. the option for the logo image is gone. editing the raw files for the forum is extremely risky, and often results in the complete corruption of the forum.
