i used the guide on how to make the home page the portal page. i renamed some files and did everything it told me to. now i am confused. i do not have a link in my header saying forums. since i do not have a way to get to my forums, other than typing in the address bar www.mydomain.com/forums.php it wont go to the forums. will someone please please please go into my forum and add it to the header or can someone give me a tutorial on how do add a link to the header or something. thanks!
Go to your themes templates and go to header>header and find your logo code, usually the top code looks like this for the default theme.
<div class="logo"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a></div>
Change it to.
<div class="logo"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/forums.php"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a></div>

Everything looks right? I dont know why it would make fonts bigger. You can ask the maker whats wrong or wait for a more experienced Mybb'er to help you.
