I tweaked the site-wide navigation today and wanted to summarize some changes, noting as my better half likes to say, "no one likes change but a wet baby." Sorry for the discomfort this may cause some but in the long run it's my opinion these are positive changes. Yes, I'm well aware this is the internet and not everyone agrees.
First, one of the very top focuses of this site is News and I've felt strongly for some time it needed it's own single link in the main navigation at the top instead of being embedded inside the "Community" link which I never got used to. "Community" title went bye-bye.
I refuse to touch the Builders link and configuration. They are a critical part of this site as well so that remains untouched.
Social Group link which was inside of "Community" has moved inside the Learn/Listen.
Events Calendar, which has its own "Calendar" link on the Forum only (but not on other pages throughout the site) has moved inside the Learn/Listen site-wide.
The Forum only has a new link on the left side entitled "What's New" which provides a broader summary of what's going on at this Forum such as posts to Social Groups, Blogs. I felt along with today's changes it was time to activate that. There is always a lot of activity going on outside of just the main Forum posts and this is all a part of member activity.
For now that's enough. Back to your regularly scheduled program.
Addendum:
The "Activity Stream" link that was inside the Quick Links (and which has been removed) on the Forum only is identical in results to the new "What's New" link.
The Member Blogs link is also inside the Quick Links on the Forum navigation only.
