I always found it very useful to have a link to puppylinux.com at the top of the forum home page.
http://puppylinux.com/

It has a link to this forum, so give them some love and have a link to it. :thumbup2: :D

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

@rockedge Problem: Looks an behaves differently on my PC and Android phone.
On the Android phone it's a dropdown "Links" button above the top bar, thus taking valuable real estate from the already small screen space. Being close to Quick links and Board index it is easy to be touched in error. Could you make it integrate into the top bar the same as it does on a PC? And can it be centered on the bar? The center is still empty and there it would not interfere with other links.

@MochiMoppel

Good point, I would like the button better if it was float:right.........so I modified the css to do it.

@rockedge Hmmm. Moved to the right. That's good.
Still above the bar. Strange that the dropdown list has become a dropleft list. How will this work out with multiple links in the list?

I am not really pleased with it. The responsive css is not really configurable so I'm directly modifying the CSS for the extension

It used to be a requirement, though I've seen the Puppy logo used all over the place without link so I don't know if this is still the case or not:

https://bkhome.org/archive/puppylinux/faq.htm
To clarify, the following images and names have ownership restrictions:

Notice: This is a logo for Puppy, also known as Puppy Linux and PuppyOS. Permission is given to use this logo, however it must be displayed alongside a link (or link embedded in image) to puppylinux.com.

notice the logo I used is not an official logo, but a new proposed one that disappeared. This fella has the tongue hanging out, I am trying to place a link to puppylinux.com. I have had some discussion with the idea to merge this forum to actually belong to puppylinux.com but I think there would be issues since they use Github as a host. No mysql database..which in a big no go for us.

I need to find the sweet spot so the link remains across ALL the possible theme styles and doesn't interfere with the header CSS. You would be surprised how complicated it is. I'll work on it today.

AFAIK, there is only 1 link to a forum on that web page, and it is a link to the Murga forum. No link to this forum at all.

OK, I found the link to the Rockedge forum, an icon on the nav bar at the top.
Searching for "forum" or "rockedge" does not find it, but searching the web page source does find it.

Searching for "forum" in the web page does find the Murga forum link, near the bottom of the page.

Very pleased to see that this forum us now identified as forum.puppylinux.com. That's really great positive news. Great decision by all involved in Puppy Linux management. :thumbup: :D
