[quote by Xenon]we've had the navbar on the index page once, and it looked horrible, so it was removed again.[/quote]I don't understand what you mean, Xenon, there are six supported styles and most of them do have have navbars on the homepage.

With Navbar
1. Dark Blue Home Forum Chat UserCP Members FAQ New Posts Search Logout
2. Stylish Green Home Forums Chat User CP Private Messages Member List View New Posts Search Logout
3. Plain Green Home Forums Chat User CP Private Messages Member List View New Posts Search Logout

Without Navbar
1. Vb3 Grey (Main logo only)
2. Purple (Main logo only)

Mini Navbar
1. Smooth Blue Home Forum Chat buttons (This is the default style)

Anyway, the two without any form of Navbar have, IMHO, poor navigation, because of the following:

1. there is no ready access to: Chat UserCP Members FAQ New Posts Search Logout and the Forums link is an unlabeled logo.
2. You have a relatively experienced site user asking you how to get around because they can't find the links.

I am one that believes form follows function, but there is a solution: in the future, I'll just avoid those functionally limited styles.
