The select forum drop-down menu on the portal that you originally created and that i've been mucking with - wouldn't that be better placed either on the navbar or on the bar also on the Home page so there instant teleportation to anywhere in the site from anywhere else? It was Zhou's idea. I don't it'd fit on the navbar and I can't find the bar on the home page but I'll look again now ...

No. The NavBar is a preset template and we can't add our own Html or script to that section.

It is a good idea, but it cannot be done here.
