    Maybe worth downloading a theme, we add menu items on our themes. Off top of my head its default.master.php file but only change this in your theme folder, not core.

    Goto addons on here, themes and have a look at diff themes.

    In your theme/views folder edit default.master

    Find this line:

     <?php
                  $Session = Gdn::Session();
                    if ($this->Menu) {

    and below it add:

    $this->Menu->AddLink('Linktitle', T('Linktitle'), 'http://www.linkaddress.com/');

    where, obviously, you replace 'Linktitle' with the name of your link; Home, MySite, etc.

    Hey @whu606 thats the one. :)

    P.s. Do you wrap your code in code or pre tags ? Try pre may tidy it up.

    Thanks for that - I was just using the C from the button bar, but 'pre' certainly improves the look.

    Cheers

    @whu606 not sure if the automated installation he is using will do that. See foot of his forum.
