why does SubNavBar disappear when you click on Search ?

[erich37]

This is a question/suggestion/brainstorming regarding User-Interface/Navigation:

when you click onto "Forums > Search Forums", then the navigation-elements in the SubNavigation-Bar are not showing anymore (Mark Forums Read, Watched Threads, Whats New).
The same behaviour is being seen at the RM when you click onto "Search Resources".


I would think this navigation-behaviour is rather confusing, as the main Navigation-item, e.g. the "Forums"-Tab or the "Resources"-Tab is not highlighted anymore when you click onto "Search Forums" or "Search Resources" respectively.

Because that page doesn't select any tab. But you can edit the files to change this:
