60% of traffic to these forums in the last year has been direct or via search engines. That's people finding their way here without even going to freeola.com first, so presumably that sort of traffic will continue unless moving a link position on another website magically affects traffic not referred by it :)
And I suspect that 50% of that 60% traffic is 'nefarious' and the remaining 10% is from 'individuals' still believing that Freeola provide 'free internet etc etc' ... Hiding the Forum under 'Other Sites' is a clever idea to reduce such traffic as 'Other Sites' suggests away from Freeola ... but 'hiding' the link isn't good and 'bookmarking' is a somewhat patronising suggestion.

The link to chat.freeola.com has was not in the last design of the nav bar, it was in a tab on the top right. Bookmarks are used to stop you having to go to one site and click so you can then visit another and so you don't have to remember the URL, which it appears is exactly what you do? You can never please everybody :)
But now we'll never have new people join the forums because there will be even less chance of them stumbling across them. Sad face.

What's bookmarks?
Don't do bookmarks on sites that I know, because I know where things are!
Why should I 'bookmark' the Forums when the link has aiways been within the Freeola nav bar?
Bad call :¬(
Sorry Eccles
Bookmarks.....
On another note ... who likes the 'sudden new nav bar' at Freeola? Took me ages to realise that the Forums was 'Other Sites' !
Not good :¬(

Should have explained it better, sorry. Company is now owned by a Canadian company and all redundancies are announced at the same time. In the US and Canada the workers rights are few and far between and they can be shoved out within a day.
Workers rights should be compliant within the country where they work and no matter who owns the company, Canadian or not!!!! You have a 30 day consultation period, which means jack s***e, but you have it :¬)

Not quite that easy pb;¬) When we were made redundant, it was on 15th December ... but we still had a '30 day consulatation' period which made our Christmas' so wonderful, we didn't leave site until 21st January the next year!
Redundancy notice in December, you won't physically leave the job until into the New Year.

Ours always get announced before Christmas so they can get rid of people before then. Hope your job is ok.
