Any of the Forum sub-menu options that don't fit on the bar as the display window narrows should still be accessible. When items drop off the bar there is a "..." link at the right end that produces a drop down menu with the items that fell off the bar. With its white-on-light-blue coloring it's not the easiest to see.
When my window is wide enough to show all items, the order on the Forum submenu bar is:
Mark Forums Read - Search Forums - Watched Forums - Watched Threads - Recent Posts - New Posts - Threads you Ignore - Forums You Ignore
Or when abbreviated:
As the window size is narrowed (i.e. smaller window on computer, or small screen on phone or tablet) items drop off from the left, not the right as one would expect, and get added to the bottom of the "..." drop down:
.. and so forth.
This is built into our XenForo bbs software and works the same way for all of the sub-menus (the ones below Forums, Members, whatever). The main menu bar at the top works just the opposite, with items dropping from the right, which seems much more intuitive to me.
It would make more sense to me to have sub-menu bar work the same as the main menu bar, but I don't know if this is something that can be changed in the way this Xenforo bbs software works.
