Main Menu Request

[maisany]

Can you guys create a dropdown for the Playerlink menu item with a simple alpha listing (A, B, C...)?

It would remove one extra unnecessary screen/click when we're trying to look up a player.

Thanks.

On the top right hand corner of the home page, under the FORUMS button, dont' you see a search box?

I use that. It would be quicker than what you are suggesting.

Not following exactly, please explain what you're envisioning...

To get to an alpha menu quickly, just click on the magnifying glass icon next to the PLink search box on the home page.

When you roll your mouse over the main menu items, on most of them, you get a dropdown of the sub-menu items:

However, there is no sub-menu dropdown when you mouse over "Player Link". I'm just asking if you could add a simple alpha list as a sub-menu dropdown to this menu.

This might seem like splitting hairs but I have to disagree with you both.

If you go to the Playerlink search box and type in a single letter, this is what you get:

So as you can see, it's giving me all players with a "g" in their name. While you could consider this a proper auto-fill construct, I wouldn't call it the most efficient as a primary option, and the list window as you can see is rather constrained, requiring a lot of scrolling. It's much easier seeing the full list of players on an alpha page and picking the player that I'm looking for, especially given that half the time, I have no clue how to spell these guys' names ("S-a-m-a-r-d-i-j-a???").

OK, I get what you're saying now. Would have to see how to put an alpha link in that small space.

But to see what I'm describing, try hitting that magnifying glass in your screenshot without entering any letters first.

Thanks, Ray.

You have the entire width of your main menu:

This is the drop down when you mouse over "Teams". As you can see, the alpha list that appears at the top of the alpha-based PlayerLink pages would more than fit in that same space. Just the single letters going across with each one linking to the individual alpha-based page of players.

Thanks... I'll talk to tech and see what's possible there.
