A small idea for Civgroups Icons
Well, I don't lurk often in the community forum, so maybe this idea has been already raised. Sorry if it is the case.

I think the civgroup icons like this NationStates should link to the concerned forum directly, rather than the member list. It will be easier for a newbie to understand what the icon is about, it will ease navigation for others (especially when going to private forums).

What do you think ?

I like your idea, but then how would we be able to access the list of members in that specific civgroup?

A link to the specific civgroup at the upper side of the page (like it already exists in the threads of these forums ; a link in the forum pages, rather than only in the threads pages, would be even better)
A link to all civgroups right next to "interviews" and under "new posts" too.

These are less convenient, but I think joining or leaving a civgroup is a more rare occurence than browsing between them.

me thinks that links are fine as they are, but there should be a link from that civgroups page to forum what the civgroup represents, and now I don't mean that "more" link.

I like this idea. At the very least if you click on it and go to a page with all the members, there should be a link to the information page on them.

I prefer it the way it is now.......there are clear links to the member list and it is easy to navigate between forums anyway.

\well, I for one would like to be able to visit the said forum in some way,... at least on the memberlist page... becuause I ahve yet to find nationstates forums after about a month of curious looking!

Please either make it a direct link, or put it somewhere on the members page!

So now that you know about that link the civgroup icons should link the members of the group like it does now, right?

The members list should have a link to the forum in question though.

I like the idea of linking the forum from the icon as the member list is accessible from the forum

I don't know, but the members list section should certainly have the link- so that people could find the said forum.
