Hide unnecessary user options behind a dropdown

[julianlam]

Bootstrap dropdown is fine, since Notifs use it. Opens on click, has the following options

• Profile
• Log out

Optionally

• When logged out, hide "Register" and "Login" buttons behind a dropdown indicated by the fontawesome signin icon (though it's not entirely obvious, so maybe not)? @psychobunny ?

my question is if non-techy user will be able to find register. if removed from header, a "register now" .jumbotron should probably be shown near header or possible footer, at the least.

Yeah, that's a concern of mine as well. When I first went onto Discourse, I had no idea where I was supposed to log in.

There are actually two buttons to log in on the discourse four-button layout at the top right. Confusing..

maybe we should make NodeBB 100% width instead of 1200, and at < 1200 implement a mobile style sidebar for additional navigation options. this would prevent IE11 from rendering NodeBB at 200% zoom too :p

either that or move menu items to the home page; have a row of buttons that take you to /recent, /unread, etc.

(thinking out loud)

Not sure about its mobile version as drop down inside dropdown is kinda weird.

If anything, the dropdown would only be on desktop. On mobile, perhaps
there's a way to make bootstrap ignore it.
