No standard link to the forums on the main page?

(1/1)

Michael Jackson:
There is not a forum link amongst the six main buttons on the main page.

What gives Saifmo?

X_A:

A bug meant we had to pull our old theme - with all the attention to Facebook, the forums were overlooked until I added the Social page, with a link to it, and many other resources.


Course, you didn't click Social - so what would you call it to make sure you knew it had such items there?  Guess we could call the link "boards" and then link to a yea?


Also, in 2013 - do you really feel forums are as important as a facebook page, group, etc?

Michael Jackson:
I don't reckon' I use the Facepage that often.  A'hyup.

Paradox:
Me neither, I just left the website until someone on LOL told me it was in Social. Social is more directed at Social Media not forums, not having a forum link will drive away people. People are lazy, gamers in general are even more lazy, if its not easy to get there they wont try to find it.

X_A:

Unfortunately after months and months of issues - SMF has an exploit that they haven't fixed yet.

So, we are going to have to switch the forum to Read Only.   

We are currently looking for a forum that we can convert to; phpBB seems like the only option beyond myBB?  If anyone has feedback on this please go through our Contact Form or email us at staff at OKgamers.com

Sorry for this issue; once we've found a solution for conversion, we'll make announcements, etc.

WE HAVE SWITCHED OUR EVENT SYSTEM TO A NEW (and well, awesome) CALENDAR SYSTEM:

www.okgamers.com/events

You can sort by gaming genre, or just gaming IP.  Want just Halo?  You get just Halo; you can even subscribe and have JUST your game events come to your personal calendar!!
