Is is possible to make the forum Group title a link to that specific group of forums?

For me personally, I tend to hang out in specific groups of forums…for example, on CorvetteForum.com I spend most of my time in the C5 section (fifth generation Vettes – 1997 to 2004).  On our own site http://problem-with-post-edit-buttonounddogsdrule.com/forum/  I would spend my time in the Hound section.  What I currently have done is change the Group RSS buttons to Forum Group buttons which will take you to the Group Forum list.

You can get there in a bit of a convoluted way…by selecting a forum within the group and then backtracking via the breadcrumbs to the specific group.

Thanks,

Nick

Not built in currently no.
But there IS a template tag that you could use, for example on a sidebar, that can link directly to a group. See the Group Link section on this wiki page: http://wiki.simple-press.com/plugin-api/template-tags/links-template-tags/
Might be a good compromise solution

Thanks for the reply.

I did some template tags in the WP Login widget to direct to Members, Inbox, etc., works great.  I didn't think of doing that for specific forum groups however.  I'll have to give that a try [Image Can Not Be Found] <———-Should be the “cool” smilie?

Yes our smileys are broken – will get updated later and work again.
