Is there a way to add a link to a home page on the top section of the web pages?

Currently I have kludged this by using a string containng in the forum name, but that's truly ugly for several reasons.

Cheers,

Oopsie! I just noted that there is a way to add a link to a home page. ops: It's in the admin control panel under Configurations.�

The field is called 'Forum URL'. It sets the URL for the 'Back to home page' link on the top of the forum page.

The name is a bit confusing, though, since the home page can often be another than JForum. Please rename the field to 'Home page URL' or something like that.

(This is not the same as the 'Forum Link' in the install/config page, is it?
If not, then perhaps this value should be settable there, too, since it is very much a configuration thing).

Cheers!

Yes, they are the same thing. "Forum Link" is in fact the link to the forum, and its value is used in emails and etc.

I'll add a new option named "Home Page URL", as you said.
