Do you mean the header for the category? Leading to the page

I think what Pal wants to achieve is to have people to go to the page itself (above link), and people to click on the ANNOUNCEMENT,
http://www.singaporeexpats.com/forum/ftopic24253.html read the instructions and go to the new classifieds.
If there is a direct re-direction to the classifieds, then people won't get to read the Announcement in the forum.
As for those who spam and post classifieds in the forum - are obvious, they do not read at all.
I think the easiest way to go about doing it is to just click on the top left link for Classifieds and it's hassle free navigation.

yes that's right! I do agree, that the link is easier from the top, however it is mostly when I am scanning close to the help, news & archive section, that I think, I'll just pop into classifieds to have a read, but go to the archive then click through.
If however, I log on with the intention of going straight to the classifieds, I do use the top link icon.
I just thought i would mention it, I can break the habit. I just think it's a waste of time and effort to go to the archive first which closed on july 20th, just don't see the point.
I think the archive should have its own link, and those wanting to search the archive can go there,
Those going to the classifieds can first go to the classified announcement if need be, but once the announcement is read, its pretty useless, any announcement should be in the forum itself on the classified page. But it's only me complaining so far, so no point really. it was just an observation
