But the news site is just http://jtf.org

Post by: Shlomo on January 27, 2015, 05:24:23 PM: I've looked into it. There is no easy way to add a link to Simple Machines Forum (not even with plugins) so I will have to look at modifying the templates.

It's a very good idea, though. Thank you, Ben Yehuda.

The easiest way to get to it is just to go to jtf.org. And there are a TON of awesome articles there. We usually have the big news up 1-2 days before the major news outlets do.

We have tons of new articles every day... and it's the news our members would be most concerned about. We pull news from thousands of sources... both conservative, liberal, and tech news.

I think that is what Shlomo is suggesting. The forum runs on Simple Machines forum software and it seems there is no easy way to add such a link. Shlomo suggested making modifications to the SMF code (which should not be TOO hard).

Thank you Shlomo for all your hard work.

There used to be a news link on the top left. It would display a message. It can display the homepage of JTF if you tell it to. I think it used to display the homepage of JTF.

Post by: eb22 on February 02, 2015, 02:11:51 PM: After reading this thread, I thought of an idea. I added the link to the JTF news site to my Forum Signature. It should appear in all of my posts. If many other forum members do the same, the signature to the news site will appear often on the Forum.
