Does any one use the links in the breadcrumbs? I'd like to add a link or two, but we are running out of space. So...we need to remove/shorten some if they aren't being used.

Current breadcrumbs reads:
Home -> Portal -> FAQ -> Search -> Members -> SourceBans -> User Control Panel -> New Messages -> Logout

Which ones don't you us?

I think FAQ could be taken off and reposted as a sticky in the forums.

Home, Portal (Forums), and Members appear to be duplicated on the line above anyway, so couldn't you get rid of those since they are dup's?

For me, it's FAQ, Search, or Portal. FAQ we don't need at all. Portal isn't necessary since you can just type the base URL for the website to get to it. And I use search maybe once a year.

Is there anywhere else we can put links? Maybe at the bottom of a page or in a Javascript menu or something? I'd assume others use Portal and Search more than I do, so I'm not sure you can get rid of them entirely. You aren't going to be able to gain much room removing only FAQ.

Noobs don't read FAQs, they just spam "HALP ME PL0X !!!!1!!!1!".

I'd say FAQ, Portal (what is portal?) and Search. Logout is also unneccessary.

I use them all except FAQ and Search.

I use Portal because my bookmark takes me to the forum index, not the main page. I use Home when I want to go back to the index. (you can't middle click on "Forums" in the flash header)

We need to just get rid of that Flash header entirely. HTML links are 1000 times better.

Simple and functional is preferred over badass. Heavy graphics and javascript only slow the pages down instead of making it easier to navigate, especially on mobile devices. Personally, I think a header that almost goes unnoticed is the best kind.

I don't know how it works, but, is another version (mobile version) of this website possible to make? like m.team-vipers.com or is it more difficult or cost more?

If someone is up for making a new header, I request no flash.
