User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Global Navigation Update/@comment-4738639-20141206210919

Hopefully by reading the comments of this blog Wikia can see the ideas on how to improve this Global Navigation idea of theirs.

The issue is that a lot of people don't want their regular activity to be interpreted as liking this change.

The negative responses are do more to the aesthetic design than to the performance of the search feature.


 * The bright white bar
 * The bulky width
 * The large text-size

However there is negative feedback to the notifications module, and the harder way to "Add a new page" with that drop down seemingly gone too.

I know they said in some stage they plan to make the bar disappear when scrolling, but the fact that it currently follows you everywhere is a negative too since it blocks content on the page.
