Bring back the tabs system as a user-defined shortcut system.

So I've noticed a lot of complaints on the switch to Invision have been directed at the lack of easy shortcuts to OOC, IC, Sign-up, and more. The tabs were an easy way to quickly navigate between parts of a roleplay without needing to go back to the Watched Threads list or scrolling through the threads list in that genre manually. I believe bringing them back would alleviate many of the complaints about the new update, but I understand that with the ability for users to create entire forums and subforums and threads within those subforums in the confines of a single Group Roleplay, it would be nearly impossible for the staff to create a universal tabs system like you did before. Thus, I suggest that the person in charge of the roleplay set the location of the tabs manually, ergo, user-defined shortcuts. Alternatively, we could even have each individual user create and manage their own set of tabs for each roleplay so they have easy shortcuts within that roleplay.

There won't be tabs within the new system.  We may (maybe, might, possibly) be able to find something that will allow something like tabs in the other RPs, if we can find something that won't break other things in the process that doesn't cost too much.


In the meantime, the new system does have something like you're suggesting.  Not tabs, but user-defined shortcuts.  If you click on the Roleplay Management button (you need to be the creator or have high-enough permissions for that), you'll see something called the Collab Menu.  That's called the Roleplay Menu if you're not someone who can edit it, and it's the button on the top right of the RP's cover photo that has a dropdown that initially only has "Roleplay Homepage."  Editing the Collab Menu lets you add more links to that dropdown.  Some people have been using it to link subsections, but I think you can also link specific pages, so it should be able to do what you're suggesting.
