INTRODUCTION

A lot of people don't like the new navigation system. A lot of people have a lot of complaints about it. But this isn't about most of them. This is only about two:

1. It is hard to get to Subscribed Threads.
2. That white space is ugly.

Therefore, in the interest of satisfying both of these needs, the idea for the customizable "favorites bar" was born! Wouldn't it be much easier for everyone who says, "I can't get to my *insert page here* as easily!" if they had a quick links bar made entirely for them? They could choose to put on it the Chatterbox, the General Discussion Forum, and the Thread Subscriptions, because that's all they use on Gaia. Their best friend might use the bar for their inbox, the Barton Town forum, the Test forum, and the monthly collectibles order form!

The length of the bar could be adjusted according to your needs. For example, if you only need the Subscribed Threads link, you can make the bar hold that particular link and only that.

EXAMPLES AND BANNERS

EXAMPLES

My original idea runs something along the lines of this:

User Image

I not only added the favorites bar, but I enlarged the other items in the top area, relieving yet another complaint about the upper area of the screen. The avatar is now the same size as the ones in the forum, and the text is larger.

Quote:

Where does the bubble go? There's not enough room there!

Observe:

How often do you get friend request, trade requests, announcements, quests, rare item events, and messages at the same time? Really, you only need to be able to fit three. Or, if the necessity actually comes up:

User Image

The favorites bar can be moved over enough to make room for all six things put in there.

Not only does it provide a nice way to stop that space from looking so awkward, it is clickable and a nice addition to the site!

WHITE/BLACK LIST

Listen, guys. I'm a very nice person. I don't really want to put anyone on a black list. But if you insist on flaming (maybe someone from the "we want our quick links back" petition sent you...just kidding!) or being rude in any way, I will have to put you on the black list.

On a cheerier note, I will put you on the white list if you do something good for the cause of the petition, such as make a banner or an example of what the favorites bar could look like.

How to get on the White List:
-Submit a banner or example.
-Help me in pretty much any way.
-Be the first to do something (sign, advertise, etc.)

WHITE LIST
1. Unknown-Error for being the first person to sign!
2. Chibi Dylan for being my first affiliate!
3. JoyRose for making a banner for me!

How to get on the Black List:
-Flaming people on the petition.
-Being rude/hostile towards hijimushi or any other person.
-Complaining about how they hate the new navigation (This is to make it better, people, not complain about it!)

BLACK LIST
1.
2.
