Requested feature overview description.

Change the "Contact" link at the top of every page to read "Contact Us".

Why would it be useful?

There seems to be some¹ confusion under some parts of our userbase on how to contact the administration / management. This change is supposed to make it hopefully more clear that they can contact "us" with it, instead of, I guess, a random pizza service or something.

What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?

ALL of them.

While not necessarily on topic, what is the >> part of the site, and what is it for? I assume it is something like a directory, and was about to suggest it renamed to that.

It's called a sitemap, and lists all "large" subpages in a single place so you can more easily navigate to any place of the page you'd like to go.

You can usually find one on all pages, but sometimes they are named differently.

>> should be renamed to More.

I think the top bar has too many items. It's intimidating for new users, and most of them are rarely clicked on. Notes, Artists, and Blips should be moved into More. We could also (visually) bundle together related items like Posts/Comments, Pools/Sets, Wiki/Tags, and Forum/Chat.

How would you bundle them together without increasing the required clicks to get to where you want to go?

I mean, getting somewhere fast is the reason for the top menu in the first place, castrating it by removing direct links just hurts everybody.

+1 because it sounds more inviting and welcoming

I agree, these popular items need to be immediately accessible. I was thinking about bundling like putting them closer together, or different text colors, or just reordering them and putting | between these "categories:"

It's a minor change but I think it would be much cleaner.

Thank you.

Looks good to me, +1.

Javascript. A drop-down box when a user positions their mouse over the link wouldn't sound too intrusive.

JavaScript dropdown menus are terrible things on touch-only devices. You can't mouse over to open them and clicking them to open always directly clicks the item without giving you a chance to select another item.

Isn't it possible to get around that by making the first option not actually link to anything, so that users have a chance to click other things?
Still, I like leomole's suggestion better. I'm not a fan of dropdown navigation in the first place.

Leomole's suggestion is an excellent one right there with NMNY. Both would help users in navigating.

Though I'd suggest that "contact us" would be right next to e621 instead of in "more" because.. well.. the two things are related and that'd help get the message across even further.

Who is "us?" Why, e621 of course. The two are related, not at opposite ends of the spectrum.
