| Moving navbar popup links to footer - good idea?
Hi all, I was just looking at NZB without a css style and noticed (as a logged-in user) that there was a great deal of.. lets call it 'junk' before any actual content was visible. This was all the popup menu stuff from the navbar. I moved it to the footer. Nothing seems to have broken

Are you thinking about faster loading of navbar? Since logged out users and crawlers don't see these large popup menu's above the content (unless search for guests is enabled), there is only a small "go to page" menu visible for spiders. If no problems arise I guess this can't hurt.

its been suggested before. I tried it myself before it simply got too hard to maintain after moving to 3.6. When i move it again, it won't be using the js anymore, nor tables. |

I allow guests to search so I guess I would benefit from moving it to the footer right? I view the source as a guest and that code appears before the content |

This is the code I am talking about moving to the footer: HTML Code: <if condition="$show['popups']"> <!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS --> <if condition="$show['searchbuttons']"> <!-- header quick search form --> <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_search_menu" style="display:none"> <form action="search.php?do=process" method="post"> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"> <tr> <td class="thead">$vbphrase[search_forums]</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite"> <input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" /> <input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" /> <div><input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="25" tabindex="1001" /><input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go]" tabindex="1004" /></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite"> <label for="rb_nb_sp0"><input type="radio" name="showposts" value="0" id="rb_nb_sp0" tabindex="1002" checked="checked" />$vbphrase[show_threads]</label> <label for="rb_nb_sp1"><input type="radio" name="showposts" value="1" id="rb_nb_sp1" tabindex="1003" />$vbphrase[show_posts]</label> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[advanced_search]</a></td> </tr> </table> </form> </div> <!-- / header quick search form --> </if> <if condition="$show['member']"> <!-- user cp tools menu --> <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="usercptools_menu" style="display:none"> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"> <tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[quick_links]</td></tr> <if condition="$vboptions['enablesearches']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td></tr></if> <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="#" onclick="window.open('misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=buddylist&focus=1','buddylist','statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=250,height=300'); return false;">$vbphrase[open_buddy_list]</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="thead"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_control_panel]</a></td></tr> <if condition="$show['siglink']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editsignature">$vbphrase[edit_signature]</a></td></tr></if> <!--<if condition="$show['avatarlink']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editavatar">$vbphrase[edit_avatar]</a></td></tr></if>--> <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editprofile">$vbphrase[edit_profile]</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editoptions">$vbphrase[edit_options]</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[miscellaneous]</td></tr> <if condition="$show['pmstats']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[private_messages]</a></td></tr></if> <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="subscription.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[subscribed_threads]</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[my_profile]</a></td></tr> <if condition="$show['wollink']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="online.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[whos_online]</a></td></tr></if> </table> </div> <!-- / user cp tools menu --> </if> <!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS --> <!-- PAGENAV POPUP --> <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="pagenav_menu" style="display:none"> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"> <tr> <td class="thead" nowrap="nowrap">$vbphrase[go_to_page]</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite"> <form action="$vboptions[forumhome].php" method="get" onsubmit="return this.gotopage()" id="pagenav_form"> <input type="text" class="bginput" id="pagenav_itxt" style="font-size:11px" size="4" /> <input type="button" class="button" id="pagenav_ibtn" value="$vbphrase[go]" /> </form> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <!-- / PAGENAV POPUP --> </if>
