Sticky List - Can you color code it using Red / Blue / Purple instead of Underline / Italics?  That would make it more visible.



Game Menu - You know the one that when in your game has this:

CharacterName :  Character Details| ScratchPad| Dice Roller| Game Map| The Cast

How about a link for 'Game Menu' that will always take you to the list of threads for the game.  Having that link appear on the right and only in certain areas makes it a bit unintuitive as all the links you would need for a game are persistent on the left.

A more advanced solution would be to allow the GM to tag a thread as the current game thread, and have an option on the left menu for 'Game Topic' allowing you to jump into the current thread of the game.  Does that make sense?

In my games there are often  more than one 'current' thread at a time.

I knew someone would point that out!

In such a case you just wouldn't use the feature :)

I'm not in favour of having/moving the Game Menu link to the left, as I'm happy with where it is - that's where I know it is, to move it would be confusing. If it vanishes on some pages though (I haven't noticed) I'd be all for making it persistent.

Can't comment on the sticky list as I don't know what it's for...

The Game Menu link appears in the same place on every page in a game (except on the Game Menu page itself, where it isn't needed).

Always pleased to oblige :)

Yes... I know that.  I'm saying it's counter intuitive as all other game items are on the right side.

I'm just throwing development ideas out to the site author from one developer to another.  I just felt it's counter intuitive to how the navigation is positioned in this site.

If people are used to that or not isnt my point.   Point is that it's counter intuitive to where you would instinctively go, which is the left as all other in game functions are positioned there and site wide functions are on the right.

On the other hand, the 'general' links that display a lot of information are on the right - forum/game menu, main menu, private messages, faqs, rmail, etc.

I was making the point that a lot of people will argue along the lines of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
