@otto42: Could you add in a menu under the header to the spinoff of p2 you are running for the make sites? Working on a new theme for make sites in general, but in the meantime this would make it easier for teams to use a custom menu to organize stuff without adding more noise to the sidebar.
They added a menu like this to Mike Admas’s team’s p2 at Automattic:

Tacked on top of content area like that and just using the standard colors/fonts already in this theme would be great.
p.s. autocomplete for author mentions doesn’t seem to be working?

Not sure why that image won’t show.

I must be having js issues on this site, since the image got uploaded, autocomplete not working, when I hit post or reply I get an AYS about leaving the page, and even though I keep unchecking the Notify me of new posts by email, with every post I get an email to confirm a new subscription. Not happening on the other make sites, just this one.

NM, found the image.
Yes, adding a custom menu space should be easy enough.

Great, thanks!

@jenmylo Actually, turns out that there already is a custom menu space there, it’s just unstyled. Make a new custom menu and set it to “primary” and add whatever you like. Then I can add additional styling rules to make it look prettier.

Cool, they must have added it and I never noticed, sorry for bothering you. No need to bother with styling, since working on a new theme anyway. Added it on the /community site and yeah, it’s not the best looking thing I’ve ever seen, but it really doesn’t need to be.
