Title: Did there used to be buttons on the forum homepage to link to the blog?

Am I just mis-remembering, or did there use to be buttons on the forum homepage that linked to the MBS blog? 

Could we get those back?  :)

They are still there, just in a different form! Unfortunately, the mod I used before for those buttons stopped working when I upgraded the forum software. If you look at the menu bar, though, you will see "MBS Main" and "MBS Blog" are there, and will take you to where you want to go ;).

Hm - I don't see them at all.  Are they on the homepage of the forum, somewhere near the top?

Yep! Directly below the banner. The menu should look like this:

Home|Help|MBS Main|MBS Blog|Search|Admin|Moderate|Profile|My Messages|Members|Logout

Ok! Check it now. I had to grant permission for non-admin users to "see" the custom buttons I added using the mod. I didn't realize I needed to do that!

If a quick refresh doesn't work, try logging out and then logging back in.

Yep, it works!  Glad to have them - thanks!
