foxfirefeyLately I've been thinking that a couple of items should be added to the site scheme menus.
1. In the Explore menu, a link to the interests.bml page. This will let people more easily find the popular interests page. Paid users will more easily be able to find the "find similar users" feature. It's possible this might be redundant based on the search box being interests by default, but I don't think it would be a bad idea to add another item to this very short menu. I also know that a lot of people would prefer the search box to use "Site and Account" by default, so it might not always be interests in the future.
2. In the paid menu, a link to payments history. It's related to shop stuff, that menu is really short. Some people might never really need it, but it makes it easier to access for people who don't look carefully at the buy paid accounts page.
I've edited my devhack to have these items pretty easily by modifying cgi-bin/DW/Logic/MenuNav.pm and vi bin/upgrading/en.dat to have a menunav.shop.history and a menunav.explore.interests. I feel like Interests should go on the top of the Explore menu and Payment History should go on the bottom of the Shop menu. I've made Interests always show up and Payment History show up if payments were enabled *and* the person is logged in.
Is this a good idea? Should I submit a patch for it? Is there something I'm missing in the process of editing the site navigation?
