That's because that button is built using a conditional statement, so it isn't a static link.

Mine has a bit more code in it because I've made other modifications to the script above and beyond modifying the theme - but the basic concept remains the same:  You would need to use this code to also form the link in the footer if you want it to work consistently.  That means the link can't ALWAYS be a "Back to the forum index" button for the simple reason that the link "/forum/index.php?mode=index" is actually not always going to perform the same function at all times.  Depending on the page you are on it will perform different actions, which is why the link is not always offered on all pages.

There were various situations where I would run into login issues if the exact wrong sequence was followed which required me to use some workarounds to avoid them - but it was a while ago so I don't remember specifics.
