The large icons representing different status of each forum section (E.g. Problems and suggestions etc) being either locked, new, no new post. Is it possible that they be linked to the forum relating to it? Itll be alot easier o-o" to use? Well really more user-friendly , cause right now to enter we need to press the smaller writing denoting the type of category it is etc. If we make the picture to have links as well ! PRESTO forum browsing is gonna be VERY easy XD? If not well yeh ... just a thought.

You might have to go into detail with this... I'm not really getting what you're saying ^^;

Sorry i think i was half dead during that time. (I spend an excessive amount of time idling in forums, or just looking at it waiting for someone to post , up to 8 hours at a time) So what i mean is the icons which represent status of certain topics under the forum. The pictures im refering to are the ones which represent Locked, New topic/post, No new etc etc.

Take the image you use for No new posts. If this was Hyper-linked/Embed-link or even better a "hot-area" (this is a place you can set so when the mouse views over it, in clicking it will access the relevant page within the forum) (For more reading for others: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper_link) it would be much more easier and user-friendly to access compare to what we currently use "News " under "Announcement" (News in this example is a Embedded Link, click if ya want). And from what ive seen and understood, people will make up any excuse not to use something which is "too difficult" or an "annoyance" to use, a forum is no exception, making any excuse just because one is reluctant to use it .

Would be an example of the emo.jpg image being hyper linked to the News section of the forums.

However i believe hot-spot-ing is much more feasible, i know how to do this on MS front-page (Click Here if your interested)XD, but i have yet to find this out whilst doing this for websites/forums

Anymore information, just ask, im not too sure what else to say. HAhahaha.


EDIT: its kinda similar to this?



i suppose is what you could call a hotspot, though the original image it self, if clicked on will also redirect to a site (which is what im trying to say)

Sadly, this forum doesn't support that option. Either that or I don't know how. It's probably that I just don't know how, since I took this forum theme from a friend.

I'll check more into detail with this and see what I can do. ^^

Suuu~ thanks. itll make life easier if it happens ! (still homes into the texts to access threads etc) zzz go my leet CS sniping skills~

I looked all over the administration panel and it only allows me to put pictures in. I can't hyperlink any of them, or it will just turn out as an incorrect picture address.

It's a nice suggestion, but that kind of option isn't existant on this forum unless I go into HTML. That's a lot more advanced and I'd like to keep it to templates for now ^^;

This suggestion will be kept up in case someone else knows something about this and can try to help out.

I'll be doing HTML for the next 3 and a half months, when i get the hang of it, ill give you a shout . (Im currently starting my Multimedia major task for IPT *its a website!, YAY!* (omg im so screwed) so yeah ill be in touch)

Lol, HTML the most inefficient way of make websites now a days =P

OH SHUDDUPS >< I GOT NO CHOICE - sob sob sob sob sob sob-

EDIT: Im currently going to use FrontPage == (gg me)

Lol, its ok I learned HTML back in the day because I was also forced to take a course on it =P Although Frontpage or Adobe GoLive are much easier and efficient that writing out in HTML, it is usfull to know HTML. It helped me fix a lot of problems when I had to make a site for my TKD school -_- (Its www.changinglivesma.com if you want to check it out =P)

Wow sweeet site ... i hope i can do something as decent as that .
