Upcoming Nav-Bar Changes (Preliminary)

Hello all~ We've been looking over the NavBar for the past while and we've been looking to make some improvements. We've bounced the ideas around with staff thus far but it's come to the point where we're looking to start informing you guys and garnering feedback. So, let's start this off with a quick top-bottom comparison! So the primary difference you may notice is that things have generally been cleared up, the text has all been standardised to 16px (12pt) but lets take this left to right on the top first!

---

So, first and foremost, you can see your own avatar - clicking it open up a small "mini-menu", as such - the "Profile" link will take you to your profile (shocking, I know! :p) and the "Edit Avatar" link will take you to the relevant page which will allow you to... Well, edit your avatar! The "Help" and "Logout" links still do the same thing, but the "Clickback" link has been removed - more on that later! Now on to the middle - the information displayed has been cut down and the text size has been increased to aid in legibility, as we were actually failing to meet the legibility guidelines that are set out for websites, something we've been trying to work on fixing for quite some time now! (Note that these guidelines aren't "for everyone", the idea behind them is simply that it allows more people the comfort of visibility without making it too much of an eyesore. I'm sure it'll be too big for some and still too small for others, but we're looking for the happiest little medium we can find.) The "Users online" and the "Jump" button have been re-located to the "More..." button, more on that later. And finally, on the right! The "Chat"-link has been removed as there is no longer any use for it - instead, as you can see, there's simply a Discord image next to the Facebook and Twitter image-links. The remaining links, "Personal Messages" and "Forums"/"Subscriptions" have had their text size increased, and "subs" now says the full word. Yay for legibility! :D The Bookmarks have been moved to the "More..." button, more on that soon. The Timers bar has been cleaned up a little bit and your number of interactions can be seen (this is the button to the right of "Admin" that says "0"), when you click on that you are taken to your interactions page. For reference, that is this page. And since I've been mentioning that little "More..." button over and over, let's get on with showing that to you now, shall we? So, it's pretty self-explanatory but, for the sake of argument... The idea behind this is that it frees up an amount of space (as seen in the comparison) by taking some of the less time-sensitive information and placing it in one handy little pop-up. You still get your bookmarks through this, they're still much more accessible than navigating to them through the standard method although we acknowledge that having it being one extra button press away is something we expect people to have issue with. We're not certain about having the Pokérus information there but the reasoning at this moment in time for that is that there's a small minority of people that go for the 'rus at any given time, thus it seems a bit weird that the time is sort of shoved in everyone else's face, despite the fact most people simply don't care for it (whether due to time constraints, preferring other clicking methods etc). There's a concern with this as well in a simple concept - "Out of sight, out of mind" - with such a small minority of people hunting for it, moving it out of the way is liable to only exacerbate that reality, which is something we're not certain about. That said! we also think that the 'rus is due a change. What change? We're not sure at this time, but with that said, the fact is that said change could involve that specific information no longer being particularly pertinent or relevant to being known - but it's not hard to move that information about (or remove it entirely or put it back...) so it's not like we're really "for" or "against" anything here. It's just a thought we've had and we figured it'd be best to show you the change, rather than just trying to describe it :D Ultimately, we're looking for thoughts and feedback here. As the announcement states, these are all preliminary changes and we're not looking to go implementing these right away, so there's no need to worry about that :) Quick update: Just as an example of swapping things around, it is possible for us to do things like: (Users online in usual place, currencies in "More..." tab) If that is what people would prefer. Still not finalised, merely an example!
