Forum Rules Link Removed: Major Headache for Forum Administrators
The biggest problem I see with IPB is going to prove to be a very major headache for those of us who run active forums. Some of you may have already discovered that IPS has removed the "forum rules' link from the top of the forums. This is a major mistake. I'm going to run into major problems when someone tries to look for the forum rules link but cannot find it because some gumby decided to place the link in the footer section, obscured with small font text and with font colors so light that you will skip right over it.

Done
ACP -> Look & Feel -> Global Template -> globalTemplate
Find:
<ul class='ipsList_inline' id='community_app_menu'>
Add Below:
<li id='nav_rules' class='right'>
<if test="siteruleslink:|:$this->settings['gl_show'] and $this->settings['gl_title']">
<li class='right ipsType_smaller'>
<a href='<if test="ruleslink:|:$this->settings['gl_link']">{$this->settings['gl_link']}<else />{parse url="app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules" base="public"}</if>'><if test="siterulestitle:|:$this->settings['gl_title']">{$this->settings['gl_title']}<else />{$this->lang->words['board_rules']}</if></a>
</li>
</if>
</li>
Done You now have rules link on top of page

Yeah, that was a bad move. Because of this, administrators will probably now have to make a forum only dedicated to rules just to make sure everyone sees it. I really hope IPS changes their mind about this. This is getting very irritating now.
Or you can just edit your skin and place a link there. It really only takes less than 5 minutes.
