Make the site selector universally available
5 years ago Adám

The site selector is only visible in the main site listing view, but not on post pages or during editing. But there’s usually plenty of space in the top bar, so I see no reason to omit it.

Please make it universal.

We have recently revisited the site switcher, and it is now on all pages and looks like this:

However we will also be rolling out icons for each community, like the C++ logo in the image above, which will eventually replace the colour blobs in the dropdown.

Update:

We now use community images in the dropdown:

Now implemented; see @James’s answer

Thanks, we will be revisiting the navigation in the header shortly and will consider making it (or its replacement) universal

we will try — actually we are already trying, for example the community selector is supposed to be part of that and has been fairly well received, but we know we aren’t there yet, at least in terms of consistency (we are working our way through the header/footer first then will move on to the rest of the page). There are some subjective areas of course which we have touched on in discussion before, where pleasing one person might displease another

That location is fine too. Not to offend or anything, but at some point you’ve got to do a styling overhaul. I love the functionality of TA, but the styling is… improvable.

we’ve put it over on the right next to the re-styled ‘ask’ link — how do you feel about that?

@James Shouldn’t the community images in the drop-down be clickable too, just like the two in the main bar?

Beautiful. I really like the new top left design. Now we just need a permanently visible “about” link between the ∨ and the search field.
