I'm looking for a better place to put the forum code of conduct. At the moment it has it's own node near the top but that pushed everything else down a bit. Ideally I'd like a link to click in the forum header bar that says "please read our code of conduct here". Any way of achieving that?

That's how I do it. You create a Navigation of type Basic and use the location of your code as the link. I also use the CMTV Rules add-on but this Rules add-on from @Ozzy47 is a maintained replacement for it. Easier to maintain than a static page node and lets someone making a report or a mod making a ruling to link to a specific rule.

But with all the text you want in the link I think that wouldn’t look right.
Yes that's the kind of thing I meant although don't quite understand what you said
. Our code of conduct is quite short really - just forum rules - the legal stuff is at the bottom of the page.

Same here, though the legal stuff does point to the rules. My actual rules are here, which is the default location for the add-on I use:
Probably a bit longer than what you're thinking, but pared down from our original rules (I did a hard edit when I switched from a page node to this add-on).

You may be interested to see my "solution" which is an extra navigation at the top.
Obviously with any navigation system you have to strike a balance between (1) having all the items you want and (2) having too many which risks people not noticing the important ones.
So I am doping some trial and error still:

Ah so on the home page - that's a thought. My home page has articles on but I could add it there. Although some people bypass the home page and go straight to the forum (bookmark the link to the forum).Same here, though the legal stuff does point to the rules.

Thanks. In two minds about that. It seems a bit pushy.You could try

Thanks - tricky isn't it. Where to put it. I've left it as a node for now but don't think anyone looks at it!You may be interested to see my "solution" which is an extra navigation at the top.
