Robowars Homepage needs Updating

Has the "latest info" as something from 2012.

None of the links on the left are working. (Not on my ipad anyway - yet the links to the wiki do)

Needs an easy link to the forum!

This has been brought up many times. Have a search and see if you can find the last time this was suggested and what the result was...

Links seam to work for chrome (win7)

As Jaemus said, look up the old thread. Sadly how the server is used by Brett he very reasonably does not give access to others to update the front page so this slows things down.

As an option, Could the index page be changed to the forum and we put a link on the forum to go to all the old content to make it accessible?

THIS

Just dump the rest of the frontend, and put a link to the wiki and anything else that's worth keeping somewhere in the top banner of the forum

The buttons are flash, thats why they don't work with apple stuff.

Dumping the front page is a bad idea, updating it and pointing more prominently to the forum as a good source of info is a good plan.

Flash buttons are a Dreamweaver creation and should just work (pending java / flash plugins enabled). Front page should be up tonight when I have Internet access (I'm traveling ATM.)

Apple (ipads etc) don't support flash at all, new android stuff also lacks flash.
If we dumped them and just put static images in it'd be sufficient.

^ correct, they don't show on my phone or ipad, making it next to impossible to access the forum from the front page without adding /forum to the url
