Current: The other part of the header Part 2 of 2

This will wrap up giving the NOTs a chance to be on the non-animated part of the header.

Please note that a no vote at this point means that the item doesn't appear on the header at all.

Things to discuss now, aside from the current poll, is HOW you want it arranged. We could have it similar to what it is now with a 50/50, or possible a 75/25 horizontal split, or we could make the animated part wide, and have non-animated stuff below, or any of a number of possibilities.

Make your suggestions now, and they will go into the next poll after this one.

Just asking since it looks like "Members" will be deselected, there will still be any quick link to the memberlist somewhere, e.g. at the bottom next to the Team link?

[Doram]

That is an EXCELLENT idea, Shroom. Duly noted.

[Venexis]

Member list is unsearchable, that might be why it's getting so many no votes. You can sort by letter but way back in the good ol' days before the spambot cleanup that was still a metric buttload of pages per letter. If we're going to keep it, can we give it a function that lets you search users instead of just praying you blindly stumble across the correct one out of 92 (and counting) pages?

[Supershroom]

thx Doram <3

"Find a member" is still incorporated, and without the spambots the letter search is also very efficient.

[Venexis]

Where is the Find a Member? If it's superior then why not just replace the member list with that?

But yeah. It's efficient now. Just like it was when the forums were brand new, and then 60000 spambot accounts happened.

yeeaaaaaaah that would benefit from being larger and more useful looking

[Supershroom]

Well, we've stopped now at "Figure out how to arrange the two parts of the header", and there has not been any input other than Ven's ...

... and I've also looked over all of the results. Since we're gonna have Chat, Wiki, FAQ, UCP and PM notification on the animated header, we should use the full horizontal space, like in Doram's pic from here.

The non-animated header should be below, with all search stuff in one line, as Ven said. Cookie Crumb Trail is best to have above the title of a forum / topic (in the Board Index itself we don't need it obviously).

Logout is kinda dumb. I never use it, and there's a logout button at the very bottom or on the News / Portal / About pages.

Medals is kinda odd to sort in under these circumstances, too bad that it was deselected from the animated part along with Wiki and FAQ. Maybe we even replace it entirely with an announcement topic in Welcome or Site Discussion or wherever.
