I am asking, because I would like to add a few more options in the navbar, but in 1024x768 it is getting quite crowded as a forum staff. For us who got the "ACP" button, the navbar almost fills the entire page width.
Options I thought about are linking to tools such as SourceCoder and Galandros disassembler.
I'm gonna get rid of the music player button and include it in downloads section, though.
-
I'm just too used to clicking home button...
Although after few weeks time, I might be able to change my habit :P
-
yeah, i'm kinda used to clicking the home button too... but i can always adjust.
but yeah, moving the music player to the downloads section seems like a good idea to me
-
It's gonna be weird D:
But mkayz to me
-
Its always cool to have a home button but even without this ACP button you are speaking of...the navbar is still quite large.
-
My thoughts;
1) merge "news" and "new posts". Maybe even with "Forum"
2) move "projects" to "downloads"
3) potentially remove "logout"
-
Hmm, I could try to work on a JavaScript pop down menu for that.
-
I have a super wide screen, so this really doesnt affect me :P but i can see how a smaller bar would be helpfull. The popup menus would be cool, kinda like that TiBD has. Can that be done Eeems?
-
yeah pop up would be cool but im fine any way shape or form its just a small adjustment XD
-
Mhmm it looks like the home button will remain then. I don't plan to merge downloads with projects, personally. I would rather give both some visibility. On the old site it took 2 years before ppl figure out we even have a download section at all, because it was called "Archives". And no merging of news and new posts, since it would be impossible. I could always add a "more news" link at the bottom of news on front page, though, but idk if it will look nice...
And as less javascript as possible, so no drop downs or the like. I dislike these because they get annoying as hell when trying to click on stuff below x.x, not to mention cross-browser problems
-
Tricky changes...
It is quite hard to move things but News can be accessed through Home or Forums at the cost of 1 more click. (I never used the News navbar link... O_o)
-
yeah x.x
well I felt being able to access more news was nice without having to go through other pages or through an hard to notice link at the bottom of portal.
And yeah no home button was too hectic, finally x.x
-
I kid you not, i just now realized that the banner on newgrounds takes you back to the home page.
I can not tell you how many times i typed in the address or deleted the end of the url just to get back to the homepage.
i feel like an idiot. lol
-
I think it was typical in the past for sites to have the banner clickable, but more and more, today, sites uses different standards. In some designs, having the banner clickable can be annoying, especially when it's huge. In other cases, it works nice.
I myself had a similar problem as you on Ticalc.org back then XD
-
ticalc.org's banner takes you back to the homepage?!?
this has been a good day.
-
hehe i guess we learn new stuff everyday :D, but don't worry too much about it. Originally I didn't know, and it was hectic for me to return to home page, because there wasn't always a navigation tree below the menu on pages, meaning no home button
-
I'm so used to clicking the banner on other websites that I still do it sometimes on Omnimaga, realizing only after several seconds that it doesn't work. So it would be nice if the banner were to be clickable, and possibly remove the Home button because of that. I must admit that it is slightly annoying to click on the Home from an iPod Touch, since I have to zoom in to be sure of correctly clicking it.
-
i could maybe make both?
-
Yeah, if many people are used to the home button, then you shouldn't remove it. But a clickable banner sure would be nice.
-
yeah I thought about having both home button and clickable banner. However, it wont be the entire banner width, just the parts with images, because i tried to make the entire black area clickable too, and it did not work.
EDIT: The banner is now clickable on every theme
-
I like the click-able banner. This is a great addition! ;D
-
Thanks. I was unsure if it would get annoying and the removal of the button for HOME page made the site annoying to browse, so I just decided: "why not just keep both?"
