I know you guys like to use CSS to define your logo image.... but there is still a way for a clickable banner. With a blank gif stretching to the full 100% overlap of the background for logostrip. D=

Instructions:

Go to Admin PC
-> Skins & Templates
--> HTML Templates
---> Edit properties of whatever template set.
----> Global HTML elements
-----> Board Header (logo, links, etc) EDIT SINGLE

Find:

Code:
<div id='logostrip'>

</div>

It may look different due to you guys using CSS for a header image.

Add this before the close of :

Code:
<a href="index.php"><img src="http://wimg.mp/8lJ.png" border="0" width="100%" height="100%" title="Welcome to SoulsRPG!" /></a>

Please do it! I would love a clickable banner.

Ash.

I usually just use the breadcrumbs to navigate back to the index, but if no one has a HUGE OBJECTION to making the banner clickable, I don't see why not. :O

- Strelein von Rosnete - 06-04-2010

I personally don't mind either way, but I don't much care for clickable banners usually, especially after dealing with them for ages. I like the links much better; fewer chance of an accidental click out.

I'm not like, "OMFG NO CLICKABLE BANNER D<", but I prefer none for the same reasons Gen said.

I'm extremely used to clickable banners. The navigation to get back to the home page is so foreign to me here. xD.

- Anann Kelevra - 06-04-2010

I rarely scroll up far enough to get back to the banner once I start surfing anyways. idk

I rarely see other RP boards with clickable top banners and breadcrumb navigation is pretty standard for most forums. I personally find it unnecessary and as others have said, there's the chance of accidentally clicking it since the banner is relatively big.

Personally, I have 'Souls bookmarked on my toolbar, so I just click that to get to the index, lol. XD

Yeah! Come on! If you love 'souls, it's either home page or on the toolbar. :|

I don't have a toolbar in opera. XD. It's on speeddial already though. xD

Hahaha, awesome. > Big Grin

Yeah, like Kiri said, I don't mind linking back, 'cept it's a huge link. The other option would be to make an image map to link back when you click on the text (ie, when you click on the text that says 'Souls in the header)... if we can style that with CSS, it would be do-able. :3

- Arkham Lykoi - 06-04-2010

We could absolute position it to where the text is, but we'd have to do it for every skin since they're all different and that would be a pain in the ass. x_x

This, pretty much. I don't see why the breadcrumbs are so hard to use...?

- Yuki Miyako - 06-12-2010

They are not very difficult to use, just a bit hard to get used to. Most websites I've been on HAVE had clickable banners, or just something that takes you directly back to the homepage. I, on the other hand have 'Souls homepage favorited and etc. Though I still must remember to click it because my favorites are located near my adressbar where I hardly look. n_n

- Bris Stormbringer - 06-12-2010

I just always click the link at the top of the page that says "'Souls" to get back to the main page. <.< I guess I don't really care either way, but I can personally say that I would just never use a clickable banner because nine times out of ten I've scrolled down the page past it and the link at the top or the drop down menu at the bottom are both closer. XD

And yeah, less accidental clicks is absolutely right. ^^
