I have a quick suggestion. Maybe this only goes for me, but when I first joined the forum it took me a while to find the thread/topic with the board rules and the other topics regarding membership and stuff, and this was because I was looking in the wrong area. Again, I may be the only one, but I found it odd that none of these topics were in the "Announcement/Notices" section but rather in the Board Guides section in the Tech and Help Area part of the forum. I think it would be well served if perhaps these topics were also put in the announcement/notices section and stickied there also. thanks

Probably wise. I think that's where i'd look too.

Personally I think the links should be added as a category to the NavBar so they can be accessed from any page

We've already ran out of space on the NavBar, we need to find another solution to that problem too.

Just get rid of the Bug Tracker link up there. Everyone who ever uses it is linked to it after asking for help someplace else.
Or make the font smaller. People need to see the rules so they won't get warned if they tell me I have no life. Even though in my case, it would be the truth.

[onlyme]

you have no life.

[Nymh]

Set them up so they can be drop-down boxes (I know you're pro and can do this so stop bitchin waser )

Dropdowns would be a great solution. I second this notion.

[Noitidart]

We were kind of shying away from drop downs. As the stuff is not easily seen. I was trying for a nice multi row looking thing like your windows tabs in various control panels. But i couldn't visualize it so didn't try more.

What about something like this with real sexy icons for a few of the things, then other things still on the nav bar? Oh and yeah I know, mad paint skills.

Something like that is probably what we need.

i like that idea. i would appreciate codex being made in cute pastel colors with some nice neopets icon images as a menu. d'aaaaaaaaaw!

(no kidding!)

Or how about that

That could work too, it's really quick to add too (I just added it on my local version in like a minute).

Well those are cool but they're ugly. I was thinking we went menu we should do something a little snazzy like this:
http://www.duoh.com/...als/2levelmenu/

its a 2 level menu but the 2nd row oveflow wraps.

ill look around more i knwo there's gotta be an elegant solution.


this one is cool but no menu: http://www.nundroo.com/navigation/ (i think we could try something like this after we solve the menu prob)

only like seriously i wish. i wanted a neopets skin for codex. using the old neoepts layout and stuff.

You see that word next to "Group" under your avatar? You'll find that lets you do whatever you want

The one that Soul linked to actually looks decent, try adding it to your local board.

[Noitidart]

I'm going to sleep now but will definitely check out souls thing tonight

[Waser Lave]

Its cos I'm awesome.

There was a mod for vBulletin that allowed you to create a 2nd NavBar underneath the first. I'm sure you could actually do it with IPB as well, just a case of finding and replicating the NavBar code and slightly changing the position.

Double NavBars would look horrible though.

[Sida]

Tbh this looks alright (the double nav bar, not the horrible "follow us" bar at the top.

That's vBulletin though, not IPB.

Yeah but surely you could just put a similar thing under the nav bar we have already?
