Idea for Forum

Post by jimjutte »

Has anyone ever considered making the "SoftMaker" icon in the top left hand corner of the forum go to the home page rather than the board index?

Given that there is already and Board Index link, just below it... why not do that? Otherwise, the person has to retype the address in the address bar... not that I run into that frequently or anything ;)

Of course we could change this, but we don't want to change the default template. When updating the forum software sometimes the templates get updated, too, and all changes are lost.

We do the updates, but the developers of the forum software provide the updates. We cannot change these updates, we only apply them to the forum.

I think I understand... you apply the updates, but they GIVE you guys the updates to apply... so, even if you did an manual update in between... their next one would just overwrite changes you made... Okay, not to beat a dead horse, but... I don't suppose this is something SoftMaker can request they do for you? That way it becomes a part of the regular template? Okay... I'll back off now ;)

Ok, I did the change in the template. It was en easy change so I can redo the change after updates.
Now the SoftMaker logo at the top left links back to the homepage.
