EventHubs drop down menu redesigned

EventHubs drop down menu redesigned Due to a clutter problem, and wanting to create some room for the new games coming out, like Darkstalkers Resurrection and Injustice: Gods Among Us, we've redesigned our drop down menu here on EventHubs. To check out the change, simply mouse over the "More" icon on the right hand side of the website.

Most of the links are the same, with a few additions, and if you're looking for a guide for your favorite game, it should now actually be a little bit easier to track down, because everything has been grouped into categories.

We generally try not to change things around too much, as we realize this is annoying to our readers who are used to finding things in a certain spot, but because of the aforementioned reasons, we had to make some tweaks to the site's navigation.

If you have further questions about the changes, please check out the mini FAQ below, or leave a comment with your feedback.

Where did the News icon go?
The news button has been removed from the navigation menu, BUT if you click the EventHubs logo it functions the exact same way the news button did previously. Simply aim a little higher than you used to, and you'll be set.

Where did the Submit News icon go?
You can find submit news links at the top and bottom of the website, and now in the drop down menu, under the "News and features" area.

Why did you change the menu? I liked the old one!
We were running out of space and needed to sort everything in a bit cleaner of a way. Things were getting a bit cluttered and were only going to get worse with time. This new drop down menu should make it easier to find the game you're looking for, especially for new users.

I have some questions and/or concerns about these changes and other things.
If you have feedback or you'd like to see us do something different, please leave a comment below. We'll actively be reading this story for comments. Your feedback helps shape EventHubs, always has and always will.

I think it would have been better to put stats in the drop down menu and leave the tipbox in the navigation. Other than that this is a good change.

I think the "submit news" should be an own button. I'd rather combine Stats into the Fight Tracker somewhere.

Excellent streamline, guys. The old menu was WAY too cluttered. Keep on improving!

@cTRANN

Why the stats page is the second icon on the website and it's very important future on EventHubs will be made clear in the near future.

I don't think it's unfair to say the stats page is fairly vacant, but in the relatively near future that will definitely not be the case. Actually, it'll become one of the most compelling parts of the website.

@zUkUu

Just to back up my prior comment, the stats page will become a very awesome and I'd say amazing part of EventHubs in the future.

I can't go into details yet, but I think most of the community will be amazed by what they see the stats page become in 2013.

Excellent work guys.

Now Put_MSH_in_VS.Series_ Section :D

I understand why it's not there, but I still consider it and CotA very much a part of the series. Minor gripe but I'll live if you don't change it :P

I also feel that the news tip should be its own icon. Other than that the menulooks pretty neat now although I'm not going to lie when I say I preferred the old way. Just a personal thing though, I do understand why the change and it's better for it.

Put back the original color on the game icon & some color on the more menu. The change is nice, just looks dead with no color.

On another note, when will mobile version for android come out? The new "more" menu is nice in all, but not very mobile friendly. when I click more, the menu pop up but once I try to move the screen left or right, it disappear. Via s3

if it were me, I'd make 'news and features' its own drop down menu, and rename 'more' into 'games'. At the moment 4 out of the 5 'more' sections are games. then you can consolidate all the games in there, instead of some in some out. (maybe boldifying the more common ones)
cool though.

You need to add a "clear" div after your drop-down content. Otherwise the content flows outside of the container when it is too large. You can notice this yourself if you zoom the text a few times then hover the drop-down.

When I'm viewing this on the iPad, the drop down list from 'more' stays and does not disappear, even after clicking the more button again. However, the list does look much neater now.

Better less clutter.

One thing I want to say about EH is that unlike other fighting game news sites that will remain un-named, EH is consistent and not always changing formats, that can be VERY OFFPUTTING when trying to use a site.

Keep it simple and dont change formats too much.

@25 This is a news site. Just go to the site's home and, there, news.

Think about it. Removing it makes all the sense in the world.

@25 read the article. Or you know stop trolling, that works too.
I never even used the News button I always clicked the giant EH logo. Removing it was actually a good move.

The news button was redundant and I like that it opens up more room for other links. So far I have been pleased with all changes done with EH.com (especially the Stream and Fight trackers)

Gonna miss the icons for the games, but it looks pretty spiffy now. A beneficial change overall (especially the removal of that useless News icon). :3

Oh, and if possible, maybe make the "Submit News" link at the top of the page a different color so it stands out, like red.
