Can you add Subscriptions and Bookmarks to "Quick Links" menu?

admin, like the former iteration of this forum, the Subscribed Threads (and now Bookmarks) are buried in the User Control Panel area.

Many, if not most forums now have it in the header toolbar below the banner, or in a pull-down menu in the header toolbar just below the banner (see AR15.com, CalGuns.net Gunboards,com, HKPro.com, UziTalk.com, 1919a4.com, I can go on, and on...) but here I have to click my Profile Pulldown, go to User Control Panel, wait..... then click on Manage Subscriptions, wait....

Can you just add direct jump links for Subscriptions and Bookmarks to the Quick Links menu?

Also, IMO, "The Team" and "Members" are clutter in that menu and don't really need to be in a Quick Links menu, and are also available at the bottom right of the forum. Also, Chat Center is in that menu and is also immediately to the right of the pulldown menu on the header toobar.

I've added "Subscriptions" and "Bookmarks" to the Quick links menu.

Chat Center is featured in several areas, as it's a utility that gets very little use right now, but I'd like people new to the forums to be aware of it, so that's very intentional that it's in many locations.

Having links to the site mods and members in general is also intentional. Was based on how often the various pages were used previously, so I will leave them for now.

Awesome, just came back and hit the pulldown and BOOM! There they were!

I completely understand your points for Chat, Mods, and Members.

Thanks for the quick change!

FYI, I made a slight change to this one. I decided to remove them from the quick links on the left and put a new "Extra Quick Links" on the right with those and some others I will drop there. The way I coded the site, it just makes it easier for me to make changes over there without disrupting the overall flow.
