Quote from: Jamoe;204089I think I use the forum in pretty much the same way Bob and Delan do. It would be nice to add an use cp option to hide it.

Its definitely better for the new comers though, and looks nicer to boot. good job.

easily done, infact I've just done it :p

In your User CP click 'Edit Profile' under 'Settings & Options' in the menu on the left.

At the bottom in the 'Additional Information' box you will see 'Hide Menu' It's defaulted to 'No' but feel free to select 'Yes'

Is this ok for you all you weiner pc peeps? :narnar:

Unfortunately it has no defaulted to Yes (it has disappeared from mine and I have not touched my UserCP).  So can we change it back to default to No?  Otherwise the blind weiners might remain blind weiners and never discover the other elements that we are introducing and not be linking from the forums, but from the menu.

It seems that having made the change it is indeed defaulted still to No (show it) but that it needs you to set it to Yes (hide it), save it, then go back in and set it to No (show it) and then it shows again.  So all the weining has caused a shed load of work for the rest. Not amused.  Whatever happens we need to make sure it is forced to default to show the menu,  If people have particular requirements then let them go fix them, but we should not be turning off the menu view for the masses as it's the core piece fo the change.  And no it's not change for change's sake, it's change to deliver dfifferent services, improive navigation and greatly improve visibility of certain sections and communications.  It is also one hell of a lot easier to edit and maintain than our old website. By turning it off you'll miss out on a bunch of stuff so I urge people to try it for a period before defaulting to hiding it.

I believe Gandalfs intention was for it too work this way, On by default and able to turn off in the user control panel, for us so called whiners.

correct, and it should have defaulted to No but it looks like it will only do that for new users and not existing. A simple db update will fix that. Just give me a second.

ok, db update done, all defaulted to No. You will need to set yes again if you done that before but as TL said, only do it if you need to as the menu is there to help site navigation and there will be some spangly new things going in there over the coming weeks.

For sure the intent and work on the db is appreciated, I'm just keen that people do not plaster over the door we have just introduced without opening it and looking through it first.  Whilst you can say that some change is for change's sake, you could also say that if you took the approach of 'if it aint broke don't fix it' that the human race would still be using chalk and slates.
