📩 How can we improve SW's Main/Header Navigation?
Hello!
[b]As we noticed, many users did not like our recent changes to Similar World's Header Navigation (the dark-blue floating bar).[/b]
The recent change (which we have reverted for now) featured these links:
[c=#004A59][big](SW Logo) Home - Groups - People[/big][/c]
At the moment, we are back to the original list of links:
[c=#004A59][big](SW Logo) - Groups - Stories - Questions - People[/big][/c]
We understand that users are asking for, and would like to see major new features added to SW.
Features such as Games, Quizes, Chatroom, etc... are ideas we hear interest about.
We are working on having new exciting features on SW soon, especially Games.
Please note that sometimes our changes are based on attempting to satisfy these wants, as well as pleasing most of our users.
Regarding the navigation; there simply isn't enough room to add 2-3 additional links in the header.
Surely when we release SW Games, it will need to be featured in the header, as well as possibly other future features.
The reason for the navigation change was to minimize the amount of space being occupied in that header nav.
Please keep in mind also, that many users may have smaller devices/screens than you do.
So as developers, we need to think carefully about every user's case.
[b]So we don't make these changes without care for our members, but sometimes from a Development and User Interface perspective, we see these problems and try to deal with them early.[/b]
What we didn't anticipate was how important the "Questions" link was to users.
We definitely don't want to make things more difficult by adding an extra step to get to a much used page.
[b][c=#004A59]We would like to ask you the members to please provide feedback on your suggestions as to what you would like to see currently as the header navigation links.[/c][/b]
Please let us know and provide some examples, and we will take them all into consideration.
Thank you,
[c=#005E2F]- The SW Team[/c]

[b]What do you think of this Drop-menu styled navigation (floating blue bar) layout?[/b]
There will be the main links visible as usual, and the others appear upon hovering or clicking the main link (as drop menus).
