Chris,

Shouldn't the "home" button take me back to the main entry point?

Tried to go back to the GS.com page [home?] from the forums topic page.

NOVA! [no go]

Loren,

What I chose to do was leave the home buttons on each page to bring you back to the main page for that section of the site.

Forum - Home = opening screen of the forum

Gallery - Home = opening screen of the Gallery

Paint booth - Home = Main website opening screen

The shortcut I've provided on each of the screens back to the main website opening screen is the 65GS.com logo in the left hand corner of the screen (still needing to link up the Live Chat logo).

Does this sound logical?   :)

I really struggled with how to lay this out in the beginning since unlike many other car sites, I wanted to have many different areas for the members to go play and the challenge was what section to call home.

I figure that some folks may never make it past the Fourm and some may use a couple sections and others everything so I decided just to make home the section they're using at that time.

Maybe I need to add a "website" button?   Suggestions?

Chris

Maybe I'm nitpicking a little bit, but I always figured that is was spelled "forum", as opposed to "fourm", or does that also include "function" too. ;D

Mark caught that one once before and I had to correct it.

Besides the post I made, do you see anyplace else I mispelled it.

In all honesty guys.. I've always struggled with spelling.. you'll need to watch my back.

Thanks,

Chris

I spotted it in the header at the top left:

Gallery / Fourm / Live Chat Help

It's no big deal to me, as we all make the occasional spelling error.   :)

My fingers have been known to hit 2 or 3 keys all at once, so I usually take a few seconds to proof read before hitting the "post" button.

You caught me again...    ;D

Consider it corrected.

I may not know how to spell, but I really do want to keep the "shop" looking nice.  I really do appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Chris
