I just thought that it would be really nice to have a linkt to www.gentoo.org somewhere in title area of the forum. Maybe a link with the name "www.gentoo.org" left from the "FAQ" would be a nice idea. It's quite involved to reach the gentoo homepage out of the forum. You either have to use bookmarks or to type the direct URL into the adress bar.

What do you think?!?

There's a link to www.gentoo.org amongst the links at the bottom of every page.

Now when you say it! I can see it, too. But normally I (and maybe other, too) would search this link somewhere on the top of the forum, because it seems more logical in my eyes. In my eyes it's not a such a good solution to pu this link on the bottom because the user have to search through the whole page to finally find the link.

I think it has something to do with the hierarchical order: On the "top" of the gentoo website you have the homepage (www.gentoo.org) and than on a (hierarchical) "lower" level you have the forums. So when you try to reach the higher leveled homepage where normally you would look after it? I think on the TOP of the forum page.

This are just me 2 cent.

Thank you for your hint :D

IMHO it's far more important the link to bugzilla, and although I saw those links I must say I didn't notice them at first; I don't know why, though. Maybe a different position would help.

Bye
