The menu you are referring to is not from the Board3 Portal, it comes with your style. You should be able to find the menu in overall_header.html.
It is this part:
Code: Select all
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="forum-buttons" colspan="3" width="100%">
<a href="http://www.schooltalkuk.com/">Home</a> <img src="./styles/milky_way/theme/images/menu_sep.png" alt="" />
<a href="./ucp.php?mode=register">Register</a> <img src="./styles/milky_way/theme/images/menu_sep.png" alt="" /> <a href="./ucp.php?mode=login">Login</a> <img src="./styles/milky_way/theme/images/menu_sep.png" alt="" />
<a href="./portal.php">Portal</a> <img src="./styles/milky_way/theme/images/menu_sep.png" alt="" />
<a href="./index.php">Forum</a> <img src="./styles/milky_way/theme/images/menu_sep.png" alt="" />
<a href="./search.php">Search</a> <img src="./styles/milky_way/theme/images/menu_sep.png" alt="" /> <a href="./faq.php">FAQ</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Moved to General phpBB3 Support.

what I really wanted to do is insert a large forum button or text in the welcome box under my image, so it really stands out and people know how to get to the forum easily, but not sure How would i go about creating a link from this button to the forum.

Simply create your forum button and upload to your forums/image folder and create a direct link to that image..
Then navigate to:
and open up
Then to add your button to the welcome.html simply add the following code where you would like the image to show..
Code: Select all
[url=http://www.yoursite.com/forums/index.php][img]http://www.yoursite/images/forum_button.gif[/img][/url]
Example of welcome.html
Code: Select all
<!--version $Id: welcome.html 216 2008-04-29 07:23:22Z kevin74 $ //-->
<table class="tablebg" width="100%" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<th>{L_WELCOME}</th>
</tr>
<tr class="row1">
<td style="padding:5px 5px 5px 5px;">
<div class="postbody">
[code][url=http://www.yoursite.com/forums/index.php][img]http://www.yoursite/images/forum_button.gif[/img][/url]
<br><br>
{PORTAL_WELCOME_INTRO}
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br clear="all" />[/code]
I added <br><br> to put a gap between your image button and the welcome message, you could put the forum button under the {PORTAL_WELCOME_INTRO} so that the Image shows below your welcome message.. I use a web program called Go Live for making my changes..
