That's basically the whole suggestion.
The only direct link you have from the main page to the forums is to P101, not to any of the help or other disscusion forums, or even just the /forum/ page. I think that's a mistake.
P101 gets a lot more attention than the rest of the board, and I think is is one reason why. I think it would benifit people searching if there were a large, possibly graphic link on the main page that goes directly to the help forums, or at least to the main forum page.

I love this idea, it's like a maze trying to get to them now.

At the top of the forum page it says "New Posts".
They could put that link on the front page as something else like "Forum in action" or something.

Or they could just have a link on the front page that says, "Direct Link to Forums"

The point of the front page is to shwo the fact that the community expands beyond forums.
There are ways to get to the main forum from there.
The easiest is to click on "COmmunity and forums" and the clicking on "Virtual Teen Forums"
I think that a link on the Home tab is needed however.

???
There is no community outside of the forums??
Unless you're one of those weirdos who has vt friends on msn.
yes this is needed and doesn't hurt anything so it would be silly to be against this.

Sorry, that was a bad word. There is...content...there we go thats better. Content outside of the forum. Because there are the teen topics, then the written wisdom things, then parent topics, legal stuff, and a biography/history thing and other crapoda.
So sorry, community wasnt the word.
And...youre not weird if you have VT friends on MSN......

Boo yah... it is done. :D .... now, did I miss that the whole time and it was always there, or is it new? :/
Anyway, boo yah for the link! Can we get it in bold, or is that pushing our luck? ;)

I think the link should be bigger.
At least match p101's.
Unless you're one of those weirdos who has vt friends on msn.
Congrats, you just called most people on VT a weirdo. :yawn:
