The New Navigation Bar

Hi folks,

Upon closing your browser and starting it up again, you should see the pretty new navigation bar we have at the top of the community here. If it doesn't show up right, try this:

- In Internet Explorer, hold down the CTRL key while pressing the browser's "Refresh" button
- In Firefox, hold down the SHIFT key while pressing the browser's "Refresh" button

The goal of this change is to highlight the various options available to members -- we have a lot of features in the community, and sometimes people don't realize all we offer! We're also be enhancing member profiles in the near future to allow people to give others more information about themselves (if you want).

Last, you may not realize, but a few months ago Psych Central undertook to help out another online community called Braintalk because it looked like it wasn't coming back. With over 50,000 members at the time of its demise in July, it was a valuable resource and support for lots of people. We put up our version in August, and then finally, in Oct. the old Braintalk returned and started from scratch. We kept our 'temporary' forum running and renamed it to NeuroTalk. Neurotalk is a separate community from the forums here, with slightly different rules, and a focus on neurological and brain disorders (not mental health, although there are a few overlapping topics).

You are welcomed to check it out and join if you'd like.

Best,
DocJohn

I like the new navigation bar. It makes everything more accessible.

Thanks, Doc!

WOW what a difference! I do have part of the old task bar too though...with the Home Resources ..quizzes... will these be going into the drop down too? Lookin' good imo

It's great! And very easy on the eyes

Awesome and I like that we're going to be able to share more in the profile if we want.

Thank you, DocJohn!

I'm having trouble with the PM notification though The envelope doesn't exist (except maybe when in the main index) and the pop up disappears completely.

I'm sure I'll love it as soon as I adjust to it. ;-) I appreciate the continuing improvements here, though!

I've had new PMs in my inbox today but no little flashing envelope or the popup window!! What gives??

SKY!! You have PMs!

MY bad!

I Love it! Its so clean and well organized. Thanks so much DocJohn

is it supposed to be all in a single column on the left, so that we need to scroll past about a page of it each time we click a link? Or is it just on my computer?

I don't think I understand what you're saying, LMo. I just have the catagories listed, click on any of them and there's a drop down menu to choose from.

Does that help?

KD

Also, did you try what DocJohn suggested?

KD

Thank you Doc John for all of the hard work that you do here and on the new neurotalk forums.
I love the changes you have made!
I was trying to figure out how to easily read threads that I posted to... I need to subscribe to them right?

Hi, bizi.

You can add them to favorites

KD

never mind...

I had restarted my browser so I didn't think I needed to do the shift-Refresh thing. But that took care of it -- thanks KD!

HI KIMMY DAWN!!!!!!

((((HUGS)))))

kimmy,

I just figured out how to get to my favorites! under my profile!
thanks again!

I can't get to Who's Online because the Neurotalk link appears to be in the way. Is anyone else having this problem?

its under the "forums" drop down menu, i believe

I know, but when I try to move my mouse over it, it disappears. I think it's because the Neurotalk link is in the way.

Ok, but if it's just my problem, don't worry. I'll see if other browsers are working the same way for me.

Thanks Stargazer!

ah, I only have this problem with Firefox, not with IE.

Back to business... ignore me... I'll figure it out!

Nice new options, DocJohn! Thanks!

oh, is it in 2 rows? sounds like your window might be too small..i dunno..just a thought here

Love the new look. ((((((((Doc John )))))))
