How come there are no links to linuxmint.com here?

Postby gosa on Wed Mar 16, 2011 9:33 am

Hi All!

I'm not sure under what forum category this falls, but I have a question that I've been thinking about for quite some time now:

Why aren't there any clear and visible links to the main page of Linux Mint (www.linuxmint.com) here in this forum?
- Although I realize that the people behind the forum might not necessarily be the same as running the Official page of Linux Mint I find it a bit weird that you can't connect to the main page in an easy manner.

The Community pages are a bit better in that sense since there is actually a small text link saying "linuxmint.com" on the very bottom of the page (as well as to the forum and the blog).

I don't know - maybe it's redundant, but three projects/parts of the same project (Main page, forum, Community pages) that are tied so closely together - even if they're run by different people (if that's the case) should be better connected.

Or what do you think?

+1, I totally agree! All the parts of the website are really disconnected.

But, from Linuxmint.com all parts of the website are accessible. The problem is from the linuxmint community and the linuxmint forums websites.

Something like this would be nice (playdota.com). This frame with the links and emblem remains constant no matter which part of the website you navigate to. Clicking on the emblem goes to the homepage.

I also wonder about this.
