The second thing I would like to tell you about is what we call the navbar, short for Navigation Bar
http://www.localracechat.com/images/welcome_thread/navbar_1.gif
The Navbar is divided into 4 areas.
1. Top Links Bar (Area where we put extra links)
2. Bottom Links Bar (Common links for the members)
3. Welcome Box (The area where the mood changer is)
4. Breadcrumb (More on this below)
(*) I am not going to explain the Top Links bar to you, as you can just click on the links and they are pretty self explanatory.
(*) The welcome box gives you confirmation that you are logged in showing your user name, the time you last visited, the amount of Unread Pms and the total of all Pms in your Inbox. You can click the Private Messages text to go directly to your Inbox. It also tells you how many posts you have not read since the last time you visited. Just click the Unread Posts Link and the site will display them all for you. Read on and I will tell you how to reset this # to zero..

Ok here are the details on the Breadcrumb:
First. What the heck is a Breadcrumb?
The term “breadcrumb” derives its name from the Grimm’s fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel. Hansel left a trail of breadcrumbs through the woods as a strategy to find his way back home. Since today’s internet user often has a need to navigate back through a website path, the cyber-version “breadcrumb trail” was named.
Think of it as a history of where you have been. Below are some example of what the Breadcrumb looks like as I click through the site. You can click on any text link to return to that page. You can also click on the navbits to refresh the page.
The Breadcrumb while on the Forums home Page

For example you can click the Local Race Chat text and it will take you back to the Forums Home Page.

Clicking the Dirt News/Results/Events will take you to that forum. Clicking the Navbithttp://www.localracechat.com/forums/images/bluesaint/misc/navbits_finallink.gif refreshes the page.
