Menu navigation is better now

I am glad that the menu navigation is now at the bottom as well. By this there is less scrolling needed and you can click around here a little faster.

Just to let you know: the bottom nav links are missing in the IM's. Furthermore, in the IM screen all tags after the <yabb main> are ignored (copyright, 2nd menu etc.)

Although I noticed the inline menu has changed. It now lists moderators etc, while that only adds up to the length of the menu. I think the menu should be kept as short as possible, to prevent it to be displayed on 2 lines.

Agreed Dave, I'd also say the topic isnt needed in the inline menu too... or at the very least, the word topic. Also next and previous buttons at the bottom would be good too...

I use 1280 x 1024 (17" monitor) and the navigation string often wraps for me as well!

Would it be possible to get it to wrap nicely? Instead of in the middle of the post/board/catergory get the string length evaluated and break it inbetween?

I know this sort of thing will never be perfect because of resolutions and the like - but is their a way?

* Greg thinks inspiration may of hit

If you wrapped each item in a single cell table with the cell set with NOWRAP, would the table (i.e. board/category/post title) be forced as a whole to move onto the next line?

Just a thought :)

if you drop mods from the menu and the topic name, which isnt really needed... then it shouldnt wrap in most cases...

Good point, perhaps the layout needs tweaking?

Is it by intention that the "subject" text has gone from the "last post" column ?

(the question is referring to the boardindex)

I don't know - but I wouldn't be suprised, Jeff and Joseph have been trying to reduce the queries required.

All it normally said was:
RE: Original thread subject

Wasn't much help really! :)

Well you have a little less superfluous clicks if you can see that there is an answer to a thread you are interested in. An alternative would be a possibility to have an overview over all posts that have not been read so far. Without the need to click into every boards first.
