Link back to OGS somewhere in forum site

I play OGS on my tablet, and when I have it loaded in my browser and come to the forums, it doesn’t open a new browser tab. (I consider this good behavior.)

However, there’s no link back to the main site from anywhere in the forum. If I want to pull up my games, I have to adjust the URL manually. Perhaps there should be a link back to the main site so that players can switch back and forth more easily?

Thanks!

So, I have a somewhat less than ideal solution for this in place. Now if you click the three bars on the upper right of the screen, the first link there will be a link back to OGS. There’s been a fair amount of interest by other people who use discourse (this forum software) about needing a better system for dealing with this, so hopefully there will be a better place for this in the future, however until then maybe this hack will suffice?

When I click on the three bars, I see two links back to the main site, the first and the last. This is more than suffices :slight_smile:

I’m reading the forums from a tablet.

When I click on the three bars, the first link in the list is ā€œLatestā€, which brings me back to the forums page. There is no link in that menu that goes back to OGS.

So I don’t think this suffices at all. :smile:

I just converted to the full version of the site and now I see the links.

So this is a problem with the mobile version of the forums.

Ahh indeed, I had to add the modification to a mobile specific thing too - now you should see it on your tablet :slight_smile:

Works as a workaround, but not the most obvious way, no. :stuck_out_tongue:

Just posting to link to another thread I found when I was about to post a third thread about this :stuck_out_tongue: , and it suggested them:

Should probably join discussion in them somehow.

Thanks!

"Works as a workaround, but not the most obvious way, no."
And by this I mean that I do think it should be changed, but that it’s not a priority. :slight_smile:
