Remove Yahoo!-style page headers

[+sTeamTraen]

At the top of some site pages - for example, /seek/nearest.aspx - there's something like this:

Geocaching > Hide and Seek A Geocache > Search For Geocaches

This was probably useful back when the site had 20 pages and people navigated around with a little "tree map" in their heads. Today, it just looks a bit silly (90% of site pages don't have it, and there are many other ways to arrive at each page other than by navigating down a chain of links), and it takes up valuable vertical real estate on the screen.

My guess is that it won't ever happen

 

If it was removed there would be no end of complaints and threats to cancel Premium Membership and/or perform Flaming Geocide etc

 

In the meantime, you might as well just add yet another ABP filter

Flaming Geocide - Wow, I think I have the name of the geocache mystery I've been working on!

I just used the breadcrumbs yesterday to get to the Trackables section. The rollover menus to reach trackables failed to work on my android phone. I was able to get to one of my own TBs pages, and use the Trackables breadcrumb to get there, though.

 

Keep em!

I'm not ashamed to say I like them and use them...often. There are times they are still the easiest and fastest way to get where you wanna go.

As a side note, those breadcrumbs aren't really "Yahoo!-style" links. I was coding the things into Web pages a good number of years before Yahoo! was even conceived. They were one of the prime ways to set up Web site navigation in those "pioneer" days, and as far as I'm concerned they still have their uses.

P.S. I absolutely positively have to find an excuse to hide a cache called Flaming Geocide. Pure genius.

30 pixels is valuable screen estate?
