For anyone new to the site and for those that want sponsor info, press the forums button only (no drop downs). Listed on this page are the dropdowns listed plus : The Bait Shop which contains:

Sponsor Information (my inventory)

Traders Post (for swapping baits)

and News Archive which contains:

stories

member spotlight

general (fishing tips)

Knowledge Base:

Member Submitted Tutorials

One would not know this general page exits because of the dropdowns.

Thanks Frank.

That's the way the menu bar has always worked. Before there was a bar, you just linked to the forums from the main page. But none of the newer members would know that they were missing out on stuff

I don't understand how a newbie would access the sponsor page, archive or other parts of the index unless he knew to only press the forums button.

Dropdowns usually mean that the heading is non-functional.

I guess I just assumed that clicking on the header was general knowledge. I visit sites daily that allow you to click on the header, not just the drop downs.

From the "Forums" drop down, if you click on a catagory (like 'general forums'), not one of the pop-up sub-catagories it will display a page with that catagory of forums. For example, if you click on 'General Forums' a new page will open with all the individual forums listed under that catagory. You would see 'Site Announcements', 'The Docks', 'All Aboard', and 'Fishing Tips'. All the other catagories, including "The Bait Shop" will be collapsed. Users are then able to click on the corresponding forum and expand them to find the sub-catagories, like 'Sponsor Information'.

Done,

my apologies...

The News section is being rewritten, so for now, all news sections are on one single page, which is why there isnt a dropdown for the "News" button, clicking it will take you there.

Thanks for pointing it out.
