Habitica: No clickable link to old-news static page

[Hus274]

Description

I was looking to open the old news (https://habitica.com/static/old-news) link to see the update that I accidentally clicked through here and had a hard time getting to the old-news page on the static website. From what I could see, neither the static website nor the links below include one to the old news page. Would this be something worth changing? I think it would make sense to add a link to the bottom of a users habitica page to access the old news, maybe under the Blog link in the company section at the bottom of the page?

Having a link on the static website to access the page would make sense I think too.

If you go to Settings->Site, there's a "Show Bailey" button that lets you view the recent news again, but I can't find any other links to Bailey, old or new. I agree that adding at least one link to the static page would be useful.

When I do "show Bailey" and then click on Bailey, the window that opens has a link to old news at the bottom. Is that not there for you?

[Alys]

But despite that, a link to news on the site might be nice.

[Hus274]

It is, I just didn't know that that existed until khipkin posted above.

One solution would be to put a link in the Settings dropdown. See the bottom of this screenshot:

If someone wants to confirm that this would be a good solution to merge in, I can add this and link it to https://habitica.com/static/old-news

@ESWAT Hmm I think maybe that dropdown is already super long as-is. But I'm not sure where else to put it... Maybe next to / instead of the "Show Bailey" button?

[Hus274]

Why not put it in the footer where we have all the other links? That was the first place I went to look for it as a user.

Yeah I think the footer is the best place for it. Feel free to make a PR

Is anyone working on this? If not, I can do it.
