You can see the hyperlinks to the left if you view the forum from:

START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE

You can't see them if you view the forum from:

Best,

OK here's the thing about this from what I can tell:

We are in need of a "redirect" here.

When someone goes to
START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE

they should be automatically redirected to

START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE.

This type of redirect is one of the very most basic and common things that is done here in cyberspace, and it when it comes to people routinely not being able to see the info that could help prevent them from experiencing the worst pain known to mankind, not to mention potential suicide issues, well, please consider that for a moment.....

I'm also getting pretty frustrated when trying to direct new people coming to the site to the links on the left. I can't say "the links on the left" to them, can I, because some people aren't seeing them. This just basically causes all kinds of problems for a LOT of people - I could go on but I'll hold the rest of my fire on this for now, in hopes this will just be responded to and taken care of.

bejeeber,

I'm not quite sure what has you all worked up, but your suggestion won't work the way you envision.

START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE is the address of a frames page that pulls three separate pages into one single page.  It is one of the very most basic and common things that is done here in cyberspace.

START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE is the address of the actual message board script so it can't be re-directed.

The path that is followed by 99.9% of the folks that find our site leads them to START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE (which has the "links on the left").  I would bet money that anyone who is viewing the board directly from the script knows exactly what you mean when you refer to the "links ln the left".

If it truly stresses you out so much that some people may not see the "links on the left", preceed your statement about the links with "click on the clusterheadaches.com logo at the top, right of the message board" as clicking that logo will load the START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE page, and then reference the "links on the left".  Give it a try, I'm sure you'll be amazed!

I hope this clears up any mis-understanding.

Regards,

DJ
