Clicking the logo at the top to go to the homepage

I noticed in the past few days that the GMInsideNews logo on the top of every page is no longer a clickable link to go back to the homepage. If I'm in the forums and want to see the front page, I used to just click that to get back.

Actually, other than entering it into the browser or going to my Favorites, I'm not sure how to get back to the homepage, especially not from within the site.

Any suggestions?

Look at the first red bar down from the very top of the page. There is a link there called 'Home'.

I fortunately don't have any red bars on my theme - I am using "hold the red." However, I now finally see what you're talking about, so that does help.

But can the header logo be made back into a clickable link for people like me who don't want to aim carefully for "Home?"

Thanks FISH!

As mentioned in a nother thread about this very subject, the logo is sort of an unwritten internet rule that clicking it takes you home. Go to any website and click the logo and it takes you home.

Re: Clicking the logo at the top to go to the homepage

I gotta say I want the logo to take me back to the front page. I never noticed the home link till it was just pointed out. its so much easyer to just have the logo be the link (it probably took more effort to take if off of being the link that just leaving it alone )
