Implemented 📊 Poll: Should our Forum Header Logo link to Forums List or Database Homepage?

[Muiredach]

Right now the logo in our header on the forums if clicked or tapped links to our main forum list, instead of our main homepage.

In general there's not a simple way to go back to the homepage of the main database from the forums right now.

Should it be changed? Will it inconvenience any members?

(also first proper test of our forum polls feature!)

Has it always linked to the forum list? I feel as though I've been using it to go back to the main site lol I'd vote for it to link to the main site

Yep, so far it has.

Main Database link for me ,but I tend not to use it as I use the Community tab usually on my laptop where I have all the tabs to switch between .

odd one out here so far... I thought to keep it like that as another chance that brings new users to the community. (more work @GrownHealth lol)

You'd still be able to just click the 'Community' tab to go to the forum homepage on desktop - though on mobile you'd have to select it from the side menu.

Keep the forums quiet for a little longer. Let us find our Groove a little more before we push forward. Find some more mods n take the stress off you.

This change is unlikely to affect inbound traffic in anyway overall, it's more a user experience query.

I feel we're getting there slowly, three months in so far and we're largely drama free. We're still in a nascent period of early development, there will certainly be more mods, policies and such in the long--run.

I suppose as usual it depends on the mobile/desktop numbers.

Well on that we fail completely, around 70% mobile - but I haven't managed to dedicate the time yet to launch our mobile 'v2.0' revamp for the main database. I feel like the forums in many ways are kind of like a 'v1.5'. We're starting to move towards a full responsive setup - eventually both sites should have a largely congruent theme between mobile/desktop too.

Hoping it can be prioritised early next year.

Dude you prodded the bear ,he's now shouting about the forum and how friendly and helpful we are, on twitter/X

 

[Muiredach]

Guilty as charged, there's nothing wrong with drumming up more activity here We'll cope just fine.
