I like the guest book very much, BUT, other than hitting the back button several times, how does the user get back to the originating site? I dont want my visitors to stray from my site, and as i see it, how do they get back easily? Cant they add a link to field to send the user when finished? Please help!

If you are using Advanced Guestbook, visitors are still on your site, just in the guestbook directory. Include a link back to your home page by either adding your own header to the guestbook or adding a home page link to the dropdown menu.

The sticky at the top of this Advanced Guestbook Forum, aptly titled "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING ANY QUESTIONS!" gives the links to posts which explain how to add your header or change the dropdown menu. Here... I copied the links for you, but if you switch to the Lazarus Guestbook you will have a much easier time getting the guestbook to look like the rest of your site.

    Since I know next to nothin' about the workings of the guestbook, here's how I solved that problem with code I do know about.

    Go into your Advanced Guestbook under templates/body.php
    (I'm using Advanced Guestbook 2.3.3)

    scroll down to after <!--End Bottom Navigation --> and put a code in
    reading something like this...


    <center><font face="Papyrus"><font size="-1"><font color="#B28F67"><a href="http://www.yourReturnURLshouldGoHere.html">Return to THIS page</a></font></font></font></center>

    Of course, change out to desired font face, size, color, url, and message for return to THIS page.

    Link will appear under the main page guest postings.

    As you know, this GuestBook is one of the nicest, if not thee nicest one around the web.
    So I'm very appreciative.
