Link to the Forums

Postby Maliaki on Mon Feb 09, 2009 10:52 am

There REALLY should be a link to the "forums" under the Tiki Bar.

http://www.majorlingo.com/arizona-highway-band/community/index.php

The only way I found it was by getting a "confirmation" e-mail for a new user and back tracking the link. Unless I'm wrong(usually) the ONLY path to get to the "forums" is to go from the main page, to the myspace page and then DON'T hit EITHER of the "forums" linkS on the page (because THEY takes you to myspace forums, not the Lingo forum), then you have to hover over the "more" tab and hope you see the PROPER "forums" link in the list.
(O, wait, just found out that link doesn't take you here either....

Just saying. The forums would get more traffic if you didn't have to miss the first 3 wrong links @ the myspace page (no link to these forums from the myspace page?). Is there actually a link to these forums anywhere front & center? Ahhhhhh, there it is, mislabeled "SHARE".... No wonder! I have been looking for the standard "FORUMS" button....

Glad I finally found it
Carry On.

SHARE! SHARE! SHARE!

^^ Yer a nut!! :lol:

All this time you've been going through all that trouble wandering around on MySpace, but why weren't you the least bit curious what that SHARE button would do?

And it's not mislabeled! On the old site it was called 'bulletin board', on your site it's called 'forums' and some people even label it 'community'. We chose to go with SHARE because it has intention behind it.

Sorry about those new user activations being sent to Admins. We've been getting spam and I did that this morning until I can get something better working. Any suggestions?

I never clicked the "share" button because I assumed that it was for uploading pics/video/recordings to "share" with others for the "media" button. I didn't really have anything to "share" so I didn't click it. I just wanted to read some Lingo forums.

As for the SPAM, I'm being inundated by 3 (well, now 2) forums. I think the bot programmers have broken the PHPBB anti-bot code. I'm thinking that we need to re-do it like the old forums.
