Change default link of Board thumbnail?

Hi,

I run a number of forums, and the default link for each boards thumbnail icon is as to show the latest unread posts, eg:

http://www.onedirection.net/general-discussion/?action=unread;children

Is it possible to change the thumbnail link so it simply goes to the board and shows all the posts? (in the same way that clicking the text link would do)... Rather than only displaying unread posts.

I think it would make more sense by defaulting to the same link as the text title - in my opinion that would appear to be the more natural option. Can I change this via a configurable option, or manually via code?

Cheers,

Chris

Ok if I bump this up?  (Apologies if not!)

Hi,

Does anyone know if this is possible, or indeed a feature that can be altered?

Thanks,

Chris.

The only way to do it is to modify the code itself, but I can't do that without knowing the theme's code...

Sorted it. I've now modified some code in "BoardIndex.template.php", and it works fine. Both the icon links and the text link now point to the same place, see - http://www.onedirection.net/

I simply duplicated the link for the text board title, and replaced the previous link for the icon.  Still using RC3, and the line I copied was on 169, with the icon link on 136.
