Right now, the menu items are listed in the order that the page was created (which is to say, seemingly random for a normal human). The menu order should be:

  • Apply
  • Mentor
  • Sponsor
  • Promote
  • Alums
  • Opportunities
  • Contact

I think it could be fixed here:

On second thought, the navigation bar just is getting to be too unwieldy. There should really be two sub menus: one for people who can benefit from being an Outreachy intern, and another for people who can support the Outreachy program. This probably requires switching to a different bootstrap theme that supports submenus. Related to #12.

Menus should be:

  • Participate
    • Apply
    • Alums
    • Opportunities
  • Support
    • Volunteer (not sure if we need this one, it's a new category for us based on the on-boarding flows)
    • Mentor
    • Sponsor (goes to corporate sponsorship page)
    • Donate (goes to individual donation page)
    • Promote
  • Blog
  • Contact

Figured this fits here: It took me forever to realize that I can click on the "dashboard" link in the title bar - well I never figured it out, Julia Lawall had to tell me. Since the visual style is entirely different I figured it's the label for the menu bar, not something that actually shows a page. I'm not a UX expert, but making it look/act the same, or maybe pushing it somehow into the account menu as one of two submenus: "Personal Data" and "Dashboard.

2nd item, some easier way to navigate to pages not in the top level menu would be great (more submenus, not sure). Atm I just randomly click around, dread to scroll through the walls of text I've read already (but don't remember exactly where the link is I need), routinely manage to end up on page for interns and get redirected to the elligbility check (at least I've seen that tons of time), then restart and eventually find what I was trying to find. Sometimes also not.

@danvet I've just pushed a change to the menu bar that hopefully addresses your issue. If there's something confusing (or missing) in the new layout, please comment and re-open this issue.
