New Navigation Links

[KarlSchneider]

Dan,

I like the new navigation list of forum names at the top of each page. I missed them when they disappeared.

Thanks for adding them back.

Thanks for noticing the changes, however small they may be! Ken Fox is responsible for the disappearance and reappearance of the forum navigation bar.

He commented that the navigation bar on the home page listing the forums didn't mean much to him as a new visitor. So I simplified to the more obvious Reviews, How Tos, Forums, ...Resources. The result is a cleaner navigation to the site's information. Later Ken commented that he missed the easy one-click navigation among forums; the mini-navigation bar beneath the main one was our compromise.

Small tweaks like Ken's add up to a more appealing, navigation-friendly site. In addition to minor layout changes, I've spent time optimizing the site's page performance. It's pretty zippy nowadays, usually displaying pages in less than two seconds once the common graphics are cached (logos, masthead graphics, etc).

Hey HB,

I just noticed that on the main page, that "Coffees" forum is not listed in the quick access list on the left column - you have to go into the forums area, where you see it with all the others. By design? Not a big deal, but I noticed a new post in the "Coffees" forum...and I never knew it existed until today.

Oops, I never noticed it was missing! The Coffees forum was a recent addition and I neglected to add it to the homepage navigation graphic. It's there now, thanks!
