[color=gray]I was browsing the forum with my bro standing behind me, complaining that I didnt like the OB new looks lol.

But anyways. My bro suddenly came up with the idea that the General/myOB/Misc could just be at the same place but that you have a button to scroll it down.

That way theres more space for forum and that looks better IMO.

Just a suggestion to make use of this board lol.[/color]

Just a suggestion to make use of this board lol.[/color][/QUOTE]Interesting suggestion, but ultimately ineffective. At least, that's how I see it.

If this proposal was to be implemented, the navigation bar would lose its entire purpose; it would become inefficient. Instead of having a generous array of useful functions at your fingertips, you'd have the time consuming (and tedious) task of scrolling through a menu just to find what you want instead of having it all laid out in front of you. So, it'd be a very unpractical and costly move from where I sit. I sure prefer the luxury of having these options at my immediate disposal.

Having said that, you're not the only one who's complained about the new design. Others have shared similar concerns. So, with that in mind, understand that I'm not trying to dismiss what you're suggesting as nonsense. I just have a general understanding of this site and I think it's safe to say that this direction is the one most suited to OtakuBoards right now, and it's an (easy) adjustment that members are ultimately going to have to make. That is, unless an alternative skin ever gets developed without the navigation bar or something. But, I have no knowledge of such plans. I personally wouldn't give members any alternative but to embrace it. In the long run most people won't know how they surfed OtakuBoards[i] without[/i] the bar.

Oh, and before I forget, please try to title your threads more thoughtfully. Generally, they should relate to what you're talking instead of imitating me after I've had Mexican food.

[color=gray]That was actually what I meant =P

And yesh I will find out a way to get myself writing better titles, title depends on the mood im in.

BTW: in the animation, do not mind reading the post lol

[size=1]But I should compliment the staff on the attachment part, it has improved a whole bunch ^_~[/size][/color]

[color=#707875]The only thing that this suggestion really achieves is the creation of an additional step. So, rather than clicking once, you'd have to click twice, to get where you are going.

Moreover, we've got all that space on the left. So, if we don't use it, it kind of becomes pointless. Although we've decorated the navbar with artwork, it's not actually there for decoration or aesthetic appeal; it's there for functionality.

Also, the navigation menu is context-sensitive. That is, the items on the menu change depending on where you are located on OtakuBoards. If you visit your User Profile, you'll find a greater array of profile-specific options appear on the navbar.

So really, this suggestion is only doing what we have now...except it adds another step. Part of the reason that we put the items on the menu as text links (rather than using hovering menus, as vB default uses), is because we wanted to make the process quicker and easier for everyone. I would also suggest that the system we have in place probably has the lowest chance of malfunctioning or presenting problems for people on different types of systems.[/color]

[color=gray]Well yeah I meant that the forum would go over to the left a little ^_^;; but I didnt add it because of the lazyness of myself lol.

Anyways, the thread has been answered so eh bluh. That should be it.[/color]
