Link to the guide
« on: December 20, 2010, 07:04:33 PM »
I wanted to go check out the guide today then I realized there is no link from the forum to the guide.  Am I missing it completely or is there not one?  Before I would use the link in the news bar, but currently that is a link to something on the forum.  Please enlighten me if there is a link.  If there isn't one, could we please get one?  Thanks!

There's a blue "The Sims 3" hyperlink in the top Sims 3 Guide forum board that will take you right to the Guide home page.

Ahhh, thank you Metro!  Even after reading your post, it still took me a minute to find it.  Maybe I can suggest a more flashy link for the guide?   ;D

Agreed. Carl usually stops in and checks this thread occasionally, so he might reword that hyperlink from The Sims 3 to Carl's Sims 3 Guide or something a bit more obvious.

I know nothing about web design but on every forum page in the top right hand corner is the big Carl's Sims 3 Guide logo, could that be turned into a link for the guide?

I still can't find it myself.

I took a picture of the link for you.  It is circled.  I took me a minute to find it.  I think I reread Metro's reply a half dozen times before I finally saw it.

I like this idea.  I'll make sure Carl comes by to see this.  He's out of pocket for the next couple of days, though.

I've a better solution I'm working on, making the top menu extend to cover major guide sections to help people get from here to there faster. This one gave me a lot of trouble last night but I hope to crack it today.

Have a look at the top of the forum. The links may seem a little spammy, but it can jump you from the forum to whatever guide section you desire.

This user approves strongly of short-cuts!!  Nice enhancement ... and I hope you had a good Christmas?

Is it possible/easy to make the Sims3 Guide links in a slightly different colour/shade without completely spoiling the overall look of the page?

Not really, I'm a PHP noob. I'll try though, I'm thinking green.

Christmas was great. I start to appreciate family more every year.

It was just a thought to break up that block of identical tabs by 'category'.

opps ... must go, visitors including great-neice have just arrived!
