New Forum Navigation Bar

[SinCity R/T]

As new features have been added to the website, the forum navigation bar (the blue bar with all the links at the top of the forum) was getting a little bit cluttered. A number of people have also commented that they would like to see some alternative color styles/skins made available. This wasn't going to be possible with the website navigation links being integrated into the dak-dur logo at the top of the screen, so I did some shuffling around today.

A significant number of links have been consolidated into two drop-down menus:

Forum Extras:
Chat Room
Event Calendar
Photo Gallery
Timeslip Database
iTrader Feedback
Supported Vendors

Website Features:
Parts Information Pages
Multimedia Section
Membership Information
Website Merchandise

Let me know what you think - does the consolidation of the links help make navigation a little easier/cleaner?

I made a couple more tweaks to the front page of the forum today, figured I'd lump in the announcement in this thread rather than create some more...

* Changed the wording in the status bar that shows current FlashChat users
* Added a link so you can enter FlashChat without going back to top of page
* Added a basic legend to translate the user colors for who's online
