No I’m not going to invoke the ‘Nazis’ rule on the thread, it not necessarily negative, and closing threads too easily smacks of censorship. 🙂

@FIQ I have to say I think you are entirely wrong in your view […]

@fiq I hear where you’re coming from. I appreciate the fact that you care about what happens with BuddyPress as the reason you’ve have been posting in the different threads. You have some good ideas there. We […]

@FIQ, i believe i understand what you’re saying here and on other treads in the past days, but i’m affraid you use the wrong maner.
“The hostility expressed just underlines my point.” sounds like […]

@FIQ Please stop trying to take these discussions off-topic. I don’t understand where you’er getting your views from; karmatosed and Hugo have been quite accurate.

@FIQ it is somewhat churlish to suggest things are already decided and a little rude, I have said get stuck in and help guide this you clearly have a level of understanding so don’t be put off put those views […]

@FIQ: That’s still got the horizontal navigation issue. Sorry but personally (this is just my opinion) I’m not really into what you’ve done there and would far prefer a menu like we’ve been talking about in […]

@FIQ: Who said lets style buttons – not me. If you have an example to add please link it – that would be more useful than a picture of a car being pushed over a cliff 🙂 If you are building the whole thing that […]

@FIQ: There is no size in anything set yet. You are as has always been mentioned welcome to add some wireframes if you have other ideas.

@FIQ: That’s quite an assumption to make, personally I thought through my wireframes. I’m not going to really comment on the exercise allegation as the developer chats are showing it’s not just that. You are […]

@FIQ: I’d personally vote against keeping as are unless the ‘as are’ is like the first mock up in this thread. Buttons have far more issues format wise and styling and aren’t just a UI style for navigation. […]

@fiq,

Based on one of your links, I found that there is a term(s) for what I was describing or at least, trying to describe: the principle of choices and the principle of disclosures: […]

@fiq,

Thanks for the links. With regard to your first link’s content, this assumes that the number of main menu items stays the same. The challenge is, for a typical BuddyPress site, there are more and more […]

@FIQ: The do both has been on table since start as an option so that’s covered. That example is exactly the mobile menus I was discussing earlier.

@modemlooper: There are other navigation options aside from a […]

well I’m only suggesting frame based nav as a possible solution to the issue that @FIQ is raising as it pertains to the spacing issues when it comes to the vertical versus horizontal nav. i have some ideas […]

@karmatosed I think @FIQ meant that he didn’t like the idea of relying on JS and as the scrolling tabs were his suggestion in that respect – not other s had suggested it.

scrolling tabs does start to veer […]

@FIQ: I don’t think anyone said ‘rely on js’ – I would certainly never suggest that. You can switch things without js … media queries aren’t js.

@FIQ – horizontal navigation tends to work well with a small set of options, but falls over for a flexible site with large numbers of screens / menu options / tabs. As you add more screens (photo albums, events, […]

@FIQ: This has half the page as the content area if you look not less than a 3rd. But, if you really are keen on other options please submit something as seeing wireframes would be great from anyone.

@fiq,

I agree with your point about the reduction in content area; however, I would much rather deal with that “confinement” than having to always look at what may amount to 2–n rows of buttons/tabs. […]

@fiq

You are prolly thinking this way because of pre 1.7 BP-default as being a rigid theme. 1.7 is Legos. Yes there will be a OOTB look/layout whatever you wish to call it. There has to be or people with say […]
