Cool! Too much to do during work, but hopefully I can get to it tonight.

Hey. New board.

No problem, no rush. I was off work today. Back to the grind tomorrow so I can't do much to help the rest of the week.

Hey. New board.

But maybe I could add a second bar under it with just 'Message Center' and 'Read New'.

This is one option, but i wonder if it might not look cluttered. Other options:

1) A bulleted list of links, essentially replicating the side bar, right underneath the button bar or under the "Post Message" box on the last page.

2) just three links in the actual footer in smallish font - Home, Read New, Message Center.

3) make the nav bar (and sidebar?) fixed in position, either using position:fixed or just by making the main area scrollable and sizing the whole page to viewport height. That way they would always be available for navigation even in the middle of a long page (like my 50-post ones).

Is this something worth polling about, or does it feel like dev judgment call? Pretty sure I could make PRs for any of them tonight.

For some reason I can’t explain (I think the hamburger menu), I am totally good with the location of the read new of iPhone,but on iPad it is making me a little nutty. It is so good on iPhone, I am with Jess, I might be able to give it up!

Gris, I'd be fine with any of your suggestions, but I simply cannot gather the energy to scroll up to the Read New button!

j/k of course. I have a slight preference for the link in footer option (unless by footer you mean the red bar on the bottom, i'd prefer a big button) Gud has done such an excellent job that I hesitate to ask him for more for a minor inconvenience.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That looks really good!

Things might get bumpy for awhile as I change us over to the correct domain.

Here goes. Sometimes you have to roll the hard six.
