| StapleButter | That menu topbar is uh, weird. Not only does it completely clash with the board's visual style, but it's loaded via JS, meaning that a) it doesn't work if you have JS disabled and b) it appears AFTER everything has loaded, making things jump around. |

It was meant to replace the old Sidebar, which made Forum itself smaller than the ShoutBox is. But while making it, I discovered some more possibilities with it, like Online Status (not fully functioning yet), Notifications, Private Chats (coming later), etc., in addition to the usual Menu stuff. Then I came with the name "Social Bar", and that's how it came there. |

Well, the bar looks out of place, it clashes with the board's visual style. It looks like those derpboards where they copypaste bits of HTML/etc from elsewhere. You can very well make a topbar or sidebar that doesn't shrink the forum page and integrates well. The loading via JS is the worst issue though. It keeps loading after everything else and making things jump around. |

It's loading through JavaScript (or rather, AJAX) for a reason: Notifications. You can almost immediately see when you get a PM, without the need to refresh stuff. |

Blargboard did it at some point, and it didn't make shit jump around (or by one pixel or so). ie. it can be implemented much better than it is right now. |
