    The navigation bar can't make up it's mind!!!!

    If the first image is the normal one, click...

    New Posts > Messed Up.
    Click a thread link > Messed up.
    Members List -> messed up
    User CP -> Messed up

    Then click 'Digital Point Forums' and it's back to normal!!

    The Forum Jump and User CP links are going wacko!!!

    It's like only on the index is it normal.

    Edit: Something tells me the Forum Jump is being moved. it was just at the bottom of the page, and now it's gone!!!!!

    The navbar will swap User CP with Forum Jump on some pages (most). Beyond that, is there any issues you notice?

    Mostly trying to do away with the Forum Jump drop-down list that normally exists on the bottom right of vBulletin (useless IMO).

    Takes a little long to generate it - laptop drags for a few seconds when its popping up, other than that (and I don't like it personally) - its kinda cool ;)

    Truthfully, I'm not a huge fan of it myself... But the default Forum Jump was never used. And I needed a DHTML menu of all the forums for something else...

    The ability for admins/moderators to drag a thread (when it starts dragging, the menu pops up) and you can drag it to whatever forum you want to stick it. Basically the ability to drag and drop threads to other locations via AJAX in one step. :)

    I like it but I used 'user cp' 1,000's of times a day.

    Both links would be great.

    As rob says, usercp is one of the busiest buttons for me too.

    If you can, have the UserCP link on all pages. Many of us use that page a lot!!

    Edit: er Crazy Rob beat me!!!!

    Have it swap the 'Log Out' link. Keep people here!! [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    ya, having the User CP on all page would be appreciated.
    Also when I click on forum jump the box goes to the left instead of to the right, therefore going off the browser window and I can't see it. (using firefox)... same issue as Design Agents screen shot

    User CP is still available (first item in the Forum Jump menu) as well as the "Quick Links" menu.

    As far as the rendering the menu to the left, there isn't a whole lot that can be done unfortunately if your browser window isn't wide enough to show it.

    And the Log Out is in just the right spot to be replaced half the time!!! No true DP fan logs out unless he's in public. [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] Or add a Log Out link in the User CP Page and take it out of the index 100% of the time.

    Guess I have just gotten spoiled with the single click visit to the User CP. No biggie though. ;)

    Make your browser wide, if you have a wide screen, THEN Firefox will show this....

    (It doesn't cut off there. The Capture Me screen program doesn't get any wider.)

    With a wide enough screen it looks fine..
