not sure if I understand that. I forgot to put the backticks around my links code which I’m sure didn’t help. the code you provided is already contained in the header.php file in templates. The link as is is to mysite/forum

but I’d like to make one that goes to mysite. Or even better, the end link would be like this:

<a href="http://mysite/">My Site </a> -- <a href="http://mysite/forum"> Discussion Forum</a>
