Navigation Menu Revamp

[Tefka]

We're revamping the menus in the navigation and on some select forums for quicker navigation for the community, courtesy of a crap ton of work from @Cira.

Let us know if we're doing a bad job, if you hate change, or if you like some of the stuff you see.

Also let us know if you hate that the Holonet tab has been renamed to Resources, I have money riding on this.

Just trying to streamline things to make it easier for members!​

​

What do you think?!​

​

List of changes:

• Streamlined the Factions and major faction's menu into one for ease of convenience.
• Streamlined, Dominion, Invasions, and Rebellion tabs
• Changed "Holonet" to "Resources" for ease of new members to know that board resources are here.
• Added a drop down to factions straight to "Major faction" adverts and the "Faction" forum ads.

Where is the Holonet?! How will I get my galactic news now?!

 

[Tefka]

Yeah where did it go, this is a travesty, we should get out the pitchforks

Tefka's Pitchfork Emporium is now open for business boys

If only we knew who was responsible for it

 

[Seris Caine]

Burn the witches!

I like streamlining. Just for the record.

 

[Darth Prazutis]

It looks good. I think Resources is far too plain though. I liked Holonet, added a bit of pizazz to the toolbar.

I find your lack of Holonet disturbing.

I hate change. Give us back the old layout.

Rioting intensifies

Sack [member="Cira"] for getting rid of the HoloNET.

Nobody's blaming [member="Cira"] for getting rid of the Holonet.

Everyone can blame her, though.

But nobody is currently blaming her.

Here's a pitchfork tho.

Even as a veteran RPer, I didn't realize what was in the 'holonet' tab for at least the first two weeks I was here.

Yeah, it's great flavor-wise, but if that tab is there to make information more easily available to new players, 'resources' makes more sense, imo.

 

[Quietus]

^ This.

Staff collectively agreed that HoloNet, while themed to SW, did not properly define what the tab contained. "Resources" is more intuitive and user-friendly for new members to navigate to the information they need.

Maybe one day "HoloNet" will return for a different purpose.

Looks fab and much easier to find stuff.

Two weeks without hovering over the tab tells me that it doesn't matter what the name of it is.

Got a request. Make fleeting rules/speed/armament/defense numbers easier to find....cause I still have no clue where those blasted things are....

Other than I think its looking good. Resources is definitely easier for new members

Fleeting rules?

Do you mean the starship creation rules? http://starwarsrp.net/topic/81773-starship-information-template/

No, there was a series of images that described the armament and defense numbers and how they related to fleeting or something. Can't remember exactly...they were just bland white tables

 

[Raziel]

[member="Dax Fyre"]

Not extant.

The armament and defence ratings are indicative only. There are no rules on how to use them

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

[member="Dax Fyre"] - [member="Raziel"] think he ment these
