If you look at the top of the forum there is the UserCP link followed by Forum Rules followed by FAQ. lol
Here's the direct url:
http://www.affiliateseeking.com/forums/rules.php just incase you still can't see the link.
Them links in the navbar had to be put somewhere on each page of the forums, so a we thought it would be best to just keep the navbar on the left just like the rest of the site and remove the navbar from the right so the forums doesn't look to crammed.
The links information is rather important because afterall, we are mainly an affiliate resouce site and we are trying to increase the visitors to the affiliate programs that we have listed on the site.
We believe that if we just had a small link saying something like "affiliate programs directory" and didn't have the left navbar, then the visitors that we would receive into the affiliate programs directory area from the forum would be much lower, compared to what we would get with having them individual affiliate program category links listed on every page of the forums.
Thanks for the great comments guy's and suggestions.
