I have read the entire thread.

What you are actually highlighting there is the linktree. That is intended to aide in navigating the forum and should not be linked to your main site. It should link and take a user back to the index of the forum as it does.


Now if you like I can show you how to link the same name but in the top right corner of the forum to your site or I can show you how to link the logo in the top corner of your site to the main site. I could also show you how to add a menu tab that links back to your main site, but I would suggest leaving the link tree as it is.
PM at your own risk, some I answer, if they are interesting, some I ignore.

OK I just checked your site and that is actually the forum name that is not the linktree, its just badly placed in the theme as it will confuse users. It is normally in another area of the theme. Please attach this file.

Themes/yourtheme/index.template.php

I would like to suggest you not to do such a difficult thing if you can't. Please consider having a big image banner to your website instead. This is easy to do.  :)
hmm ya I thought that was simple but not now, ok guys forget this topic then, thx for who help me... :)
cheers!

  Figured out a cool alternative to this after reading through it and thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.

You found from where this title come from but i guess that you don't even try to add it like i said 3 times.

I don't know if this can be done on forum title at Server settings but if u don't try it you will never see if it works ;)

Add this as forum title:

<a href="replace_this_with_your_link" target="_blank">Team-PeRks.net</a>


What caught my attention was when he mention him finding where the title came from.  So I follwed the path the author mentioned.

How did you add this text? I assume that this is from news, if so do as i said before -> <a href="your_link_here" target="_blank">Team-PeRks.net</a>

if not i really can't figure it out :/
hey thx for reply
actually that is my forum name....Path is Admin>Server Settings>Forum Title! and I want to make this name link to my home site...>>>
cheers!

I went there in the forum settings and used the code the first gave in the text box.  It worked, but the html showed up in the title not in the banner but above the forum board.  So I had another idea.  I went into the forum board options and changed the name of the main category to the html code and named it as leading to my website.  It works fine for me.  :)
