Getloaded Tech Update: Simpler navigation, easier to use

English
Body: 

We're always listening to our member's comments and suggestions. This summer, we took your comments and made some simple enhancements to the member side of Getloaded. 

We know change can be scary, but don't worry -- most of these changes are cosmetic. You still have the same great Getloaded functionality, just in a clean, new uniform. Check it out!

 

What's new?

It's all about the navigation bar! Basically, we made the load board header shorter and simpler to use. To save space in the navigation bar, some buttons and links have been moved, but the functionality is the same. We made the new header shorter to allow more screen area so you can see more search results with a quick glance. Less scrolling means less work to find your next load!

Here's what the old navigation bar looked like:

And here's the new version:

How it works

Menus – search, post, manage

New menu title options

 

 

 

 

 

Now, you have to click the menu title (Search, Post, etc.) to see your options, instead of hovering over the menu title. Then you can select the type of action you want to run. Also, only available options for your membership level will appear after you click on a menu title. No more confusing, unclickable, grayed-out options!

 

Community

You'll notice a new menu title called Community. This is where you'll find options for the Message Boards, Share Your Ideas, and Resources and Partners.

 

Account Options

As part of the smaller header, you'll notice a new button on the right-hand side that's labeled with your member username. This button contains the account-related options like My Account, Settings and Preferences, Logout, and others that used to take up a lot of space in the header. Now, they have a nice, simple home under a single button!

That's it for now, but we've got more great enhancements coming soon! And as always, please let us know if you see something on Getloaded that could work better. Most of our technology updates start with comments from our members! So if you have a good idea, give us a shout
