You can access all these links quite simply by clicking the Nicks Bulletin Board logo at the top of each page to be taken to the main page which has all the links you wanted. All it takes is one mouse click.

Are you talking about the link top left hand of page with the Collingwood logo?
If so, that takes you bake to the forum index page. This is the page that MM wants to link to;

Sorry - hadn't seen this post. I'll put it to the Mods team, although ultimately the re-design would be up to Mike.

Just to be clear, you want a direct link to Nick's Web page (http://www.magpies.net/nick/) at the top of every page?

Anything else?

just a direct link back to the website on each page, where the FAQ, rules etc links are, there is a lot of data stored on the website and there's no direct link from the BB to the website to get to it.
no thanks on the "anything else" ;)

thanks.

What I am saying that clicking the Nick's BB logo (See below) that is located at the top of every page

Will take you to the main index page: http://www.magpies.net/nick/bb/index.php

Which gives you access to ALL the items that MM listed he wanted to access .....

his asking if they can add a link to www.magpies.net/nick to the place where the other links can be found...

so eg next to the rules have a "Nicks" button that goes straight to nicks.

Nah, Bucks5, he wants a link to the actual Nick's Collingwood Page (of which this bulletin board is but a part) present on all pages.

I personally think it's a great idea, and suggested something like this a while ago... but no-one listened :cry: *starts playing violins*

You'll notice that, in that screenshot, none of the links you've circled take you to the actual Nick's Collingwood page (magpies.net/nick). So, a lot of people don't even seem to realise it exists. I advocated some kind of banner on the top of each page that acted as a clickable link, but perhaps something more subtle like Steve's suggestion would be better.

edit: Lol, great minds think alike Favs ;)

I see you've got a problem with the appearance of the scoreboard as well.

Here's how it looks with Firefox running on Linux, with a screen resolution of 1440 x 900.

This is my what the scoreboard looks like from this end.

Photobucket doesn't have a provision for widescreen (not in the free version at least), so 1440 x 900 isn't catered for. The best resolution on PB, for me, is 800 x 600, but as I have widescreen, I edit the pics to 800 x 500.)

I'll try one first before registering.

Wow, the size will piss a lot of people off. Even I had to scroll left to right to see the whole image.

Are you sure? This is the original post....

The Nick's page does not have a link to the gallery, it does have a link to chat. The page I refer to has both of the requested links.

The next part of the request states.....

Nicks page also does not have links to the FAQ and Rules but the page I posted (that you go to from the logo) does....

I am so confused.
