Thanks for the feedback! The navbar was added because it makes sense that anything linked in the navbar also has it. It's an attempt to bring the battle pages together.

We're looking at ways to make it smaller/less obtrusive, and brainstorming other ways to help with the scrolling issue on that page in particular. I think we can find ways to mitigate this without sacrificing the navigation links :)

That's a good point. Could you please clarify how you see those four main "sections" working? If we cut down to those four links, there will be no links anywhere to the battle guides, boss prizes, spend EXP page, etc. Are you thinking of having (for instance) the Coliseum section have its own separate navbar for just coliseum stuff, or... how are you envisioning having links to all of those other pages?

I think you're right that too many links ends up being cluttered and cumbersome, and even makes it harder to find what you're looking for visually. I like your idea of categorizing the links into sections like that - I wonder if we could have some sort of slider thing to make it take up less horizontal space, where it shows the 4 sections (with one open by default) but you can click on another to open the links under that section instead. (Kind of like a dropdown but it would work better on mobile/touchscreens than what our current dropdowns do.)

(The next update is just going to make the menu a little smaller and take up less vertical space, but this is something we can keep developing for sure :) There's also some training center QoL stuff incoming that I hope will help everyone with the scroll issue!)

The errors should be fixed now :) Remember if something is not working correctly, posting a bug report is the quickest way to make sure staff are aware and can fix it.

That said, I'm wondering if these changes were just a mistake overall? I can swallow my pride and revert them if so, and I definitely appreciate the honest feedback <3 I thought it would be useful to have it jump to the correct pet on the page (as it eliminates a ton of scrolling, especially coming from the alert link), and I thought being able to put your pet in for another session right away would also be convenient since it saves you having to load an extra page. At the time, I saw these things as small, positive QoL changes and I didn't foresee the downsides. Should I just revert it? :S

(Same for the navigation bar - I can just remove it from the training page again - it sounds like it might be hurting more than it helps anyone lol.)

Ooh I have an idea. What if I just made it an explicit, separate link, instead of the default option? Like...

Go back to Training Center Go back to Training Center (jump to pet)

(Or would that be too hard to hit the correct one on mobile? :x)

I am also looking at making some sort of preferences page to streamline things like auto-select (since right now the feature depends on your browser, and apparently doesn't work on some specific browsers), and this could be a preference that goes on it too :)
