Upcoming Nav-Bar Changes (Preliminary)
Forum Index > Core > Announcements > News Archive >
Overall I don't feel super strongly one way or another - I believe this will help a lot with readability (is that even a word? idk oh well) for some users who may need larger text, and less clutter in the navbar. but also as a lot of others have stated, I'm not a fan of the order being changed in the navbar! party farm shelter market daycare works just fine :o
but also I would be 100% for having a setting to toggle between if that isn't too much to ask. I'm sure it wouldn't take long to get used to the new layout but I'm also very accustomed to the way things are laid out now. everything is just one click away!

Just like how everything was strange navigating around after the recode, I'm sure it'll be easy to adjust to the hidden bookmarks. I don't think it'll be much of a problem to me, and it does make the home screen a lot prettier. c:
I mean,,, it's one extra click y'all
I do agree, however, that putting the 'rus button away might deter people from hunting for it. I've fallen into the habit of clicking rus, but I'd likely have forgotten about it if I hadn't.
It would be nice to do a trial run if possible, just to see how it works out :o

It looks neat, for sure but I am not sure what to think of the bookmarks disappearing from sight. I like them in sight because it are things I frequently access/need to check and with them being more hidden I will probably forget multiple of them.
Obviously it is a change I will grow used to, but I am not sure if I like the bookmarks being hidden. Also I liked the potd/vwave etc to be noticable too without needing to click something.

i think having the pkrs time, v wave, potd and stuff like that all kinda hidden out of the way is a tad inconvienent. i just like being able to see all that information at a glance. i dont think clicking the more button would be too troublesome though.
i like how the bar itself looks. i think it looks a lot more clean and organized than the current one c:
Well, the avatar is a nice addition and it definitely looks a lot neater, but I have to admit I'm not a fan of the drop down menu. Well, to be specific I don't like that the "jump" and "clickback" buttons are in the menu. The other things I think I could get used to, but considering this entire game is based around click interactions, it just seems wrong to hide away the buttons that allow us to do that in a menu, rather than having them front and center.

While the look is definitely cleaner, I have to agree with all the people who think the bookmarks&interaction thingies shouldn't be hidden behind the more-button. Since the farm-page kinda tracks which tab you had open the last time you left the farm-page, it can take you to most bookmark places just as quickly as the more-pop-up, so the bookmarks would kinda loose their meaning, being hidden like that.
The avatar-thing is a cool change though, 100% support on that.

Hmm... After setting up my bookmarks bar the way I like it, I really can't see the advantage of having them now hidden in a submenu. They really don't take up that much space, in my opinion? Aesthetics are one thing but usability and convenience are much bigger things.
At least, to me xV
As an avid PokeRus hunter, I know it's not a large part of the site that participates in it but... I dunno. I kind of don't want to see it potentially nerfed by hiding it away. Again, it really doesn't seem like it's taking up that much space.
The profile link thing looks nice, but how often do people change their avatars that it needs to be a dedicated button? o_o As long as I can still get to my page with one click somehow I guess that's fine; just seems odd.
Jump and Clickback I really don't feel like should be hidden in the 'More' menu; I rely heavily on the clickback and jump lists to rack up party clicks and get them in return. Beats standard mass clicking any day for hatching eggs once you have a badge above like... gold.
Overall, I like the way it looks, but I worry about 'form over function' redesigns. Is the space getting freed up to implement useful new features, or just to look less messy? If it's the latter then... idk. There might be a better way to go about it.
Sorry if that all sounded harsh but you did say you're looking for feedback, so there's mine ;V

I generally like the idea of this update to make the site less cluttered but I really don't like how I'll have to click on "more" every time I want to multi party click or simply go to my fields.
It would be nice if we could set which set of navbar we want in the options. Like when the site changed to a lime green skin and we were given the option to still use our old skin.

i dont like clickback and today's interactions being hidden but besides that i dont really know. i like the current interface as is.

It's not that big of a change, so I think most people will be fine with it
I love the avatar in the corner thing :D
Edit:I just realized what bookmarks are...oh no! Please don't hide them away! I'm too lazy for that :P
QUOTE originally posted by Lïïtå
Everything looks lovely, except moving the Jump button to the 'More'. I really don't agree with this and think something needs to be discussed about this. The whole point of Jump is to get a quick few profiles- I don't think it's a good idea to make it more of a pain and add in an extra step. I'm not sure on how to give ways to improve this, but I think as it is now will deter a LOT of people (including myself). Perhaps put it under the avatar drop down? Make it bookmark accecable somehow? But make it something where users can get their Jump profiles quick. Just this small thing really makes the update less exciting since it's messing with a LARGE chunk of my daily activity.
EDIT: Just realized the bookmarks will not be on the main layout either. I'm really not liking hiding everything away. Honestly, I'd ratehr have the top cluttered as it is since I can get to where I want when I want.

Interesting.
But I honestly don't really like the idea to always clicking on "more" to go to my fields, my scour, using the jump button and for clickback...

I think having to click on 'More' to get to my bookmarks might be just a bit more troublesome, but I also think that I won't know for sure unless I actually try it out for myself :P
How about implementing this new NavBar as a trial, and then asking the community what they think of it? :o

does that mean that the "today's interactions" site will be gone O.O (or am I just blind?)

Can we make it an account option to keep the 'old' setting?
QUOTE originally posted by Star Guardian
I have a silly question: Would you consider adding the "Jump" button to the interactons page? I'd really like the convience of being able to click people back and then start hopping around to other people.
Other than that, I'm not too fond of having to open another box to see what the V-Wave is. I'm not sure where the pokedex went. Also, will the tournament button still be fairly visible? (I don't see why not, but it's not on the example)
@Frezgle, I thought that was well-worded and explained. Don't you worry :)
