Anyone use the Quick Navigation Menu?

[Matthew Hawley]

I never use it. I always click the forums tab, then scroll down (or not) and click the forum.

Not something I personally use. I mean, I know it is there but I prefer just viewing the forum list. Would be good for those new to navigating XF

Very, very, very, very rarely. In fact, I think I've only ever used it once or twice...

Have never used it to be honest.

I also know that many people disable it, believing it to be superfluous.

However the implementation that @digitalpoint uses is pretty awesome. As well as being a handy navigation menu, his moderators can drag and drop threads directly onto it to move them

Click on it.
Scroll down...

Rather click on Forums or New Posts and scroll down.

Never.

I think it's a great feature, particularly for new users, but it's too small for people to notice. I wish that there was a text label/phrase next to it so that it would grab people's attention. Our visitors don't have much experience with forums, so cues like this are vital.

I was thinking of using Nodes As Tabs to create a menu of portions of the forum/site that intermediate users might not find. Then I realized that all I had to do was edit the QuickNav template for a better solution. Now all I have to do is draw more attention to it.

No

What's a quick navigation menu?

 

[realaqu]

A sidebar for watched forums is much useful

 

[Alpha1]

Never. Even though the function has a lot of potential, it's too hidden to be useful. I like Waindigo's mega menu and DigitalPoints implementation of the quick navigation menu as both are awesome and useful. While both are very similar to the XF QNM I do not find XF's implementation useful at all.

 

[digitalpoint]

Never used it on any XF forum.

We ditched ours:

I find myself wondering what that link is every so often. Then I click it and go.. Oh. Then move on.

 

[BassMan]

Use it more often now: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/quick-navigation-in-menu-page.3225/

 

[FredC]

Never! Although I'm sure it gets used since it was hidden by mistake in a recent version of UI.X and other admins were quickly asking for it's return. I personally didn't miss it and preferred it gone.

Here's an add-on that removes the Quick Navigation:

I reckon more people will use it if it features a new content indicator. It's pretty stale how it is currently.
