On the old software, sub-forums were displayed as a jumble of messy links under the parent forum. With the new system, they're still in the same place but they're now displayed inside a tidy dropdown menu.

Like so:

See attachment. It's pretty simple, actually.

One thing I just noticed. It appears the little arrow with the dropdown menu only appears on what Xenforo refers to as "responsive" browsers. If you're using a modern browser on a computer, you'll probably see it. But if you're using an old browser on an older computer or a mobile device, you may not see the sub-forum dropdown arrow. In that case, you have to do it the old fashioned way and click on the parent links.

The Quick Navigation Menu is awfully small. Thus requiring repetetive motion to scroll a lot. You could make it the full height of the screen to reduce the need to scroll.

The ASL main page has one entire screen "height" taken up by sub-forums. Why not put them into an expandable dropdown? Same with the 2 screenfulls of Stickies. Why have to scroll so much to get to the active messages?
