UserCP/PM/Notifications changes

Chris · 04-27-2008, 12:42 PM

The top right menu has been changed up a bit. There's now a dropdown for all of your notifications, which should make it easier for folks to see things like new friend requests.

User CP has also been moved back to the main navigation section.

Tested in IE, FF and Opera. If you have problems seeing/loading the new dropdown, please let me know and include what browser/version you're using.

Does it not show up unless you have a new notification? Because I'm not seeing it in Safari v.3.1 in OSX 10.4.11

Chris · 04-27-2008, 12:47 PM

Hmm, good question. Lemme bust out Mr. T.

Scott · 04-27-2008, 12:47 PM

So the drop down menu is only there if you have a new notification? So to get back to your PM box, you have to go through the User CP, right?

Edit: AHhhh ninjas

Mr. Test · 04-27-2008, 12:49 PM

Should be fixed now, my bad. I make all new edits admin-only while I work on them, and just forgot to change it so that everyone else could see it.

Also, nobody really gives a shit about the whole "last visited" thing, but I needed something on that line to fill the space so that it formats correctly. If anyone has any ideas on what'd be a better/more useful fit there, let me know.

Here's what I'm seeing now:

Not clickable or anything, no drop-down. This normal?

Chris · 04-27-2008, 12:52 PM

It does swap to just a count of your total messages if you have zero new notifications, fyi.

Edit: Lemme see if I can get it to be permanent.

Possibly something to do with the last thread you posted in, so people can pick up where they left off if they choose? I would say something to do with post count or rep, but that's just encouraging the kind of thing we try to avoid

Alright, if you DO have a notification, you'll see the dropdown. If you don't, you'll just get a count of your messages, which is now clickable.

Edit: *and will bring you to your Inbox.
