Where did the quick link go?

Post by JAE »

There use to be a quick link to the Lakawa Chat forum on the left panel of the home page. What happened to it?

That would be me. Didn't mean to move the cheese.

Minor adjustments to help keep us informed. Hope it goes over well.

Thanks Mike. I did like the quick link, but if I am the only one, I can get to it other ways.

The quick link requires one less step from the iphone.

I agree, I liked the direct link, although the drop-down code in the top menu sometimes didn't work properly on my iphone anyway. I never noticed the direct link on the left side.

I would also suggest pulling the site out of frames. Ads could be retained and loaded per page using a php ad module or expanded to adsense to bring in more support revenue for the site. Plus, frames are annoying :D

oops I just noticed the link I put was not complete

I agree with you tumblemonster. The site is still based on code created over a decade ago. Frames were a good solution then though the newer formats are much better. I know Mike has a redesign in the works.
