The web site menu bar needs a diet

While casting about for some info on NES itself,
I just noticed a problem hiding in plain sight:

The subforum menu bar is currently:

Home 🔽 Forums 🔽 What's new 🔽 Resources 🔽 NES Memberships NES Classifieds 🔽 Firearms Training


But on my desktop's reasonably-sized browser window, it renders as:

Home 🔽 Forums 🔽 What's new 🔽 Resources 🔽 NES Memberships NES Classifieds >

(Anyone who stares at NES via a maximized browser on a laptop, or a smartphone,
won't have noticed this).


If some redundant verbiage is removed from three top-level pulldown titles,
it may all fit on more people's screens without the widgets for scrolling.

Home 🔽 Forums 🔽 What's new 🔽 Resources 🔽 Memberships Classifieds 🔽 Training

The vendors paying a premium to advertise firearms training would probably agree with me.


Note well:
I'm not asking for a change to the titles or permalink URLs of the associated top-level subfora.
I don't know XenForo, but this is a trivial change in WordPress's menu editor.

So unless there's a strong emotional attachment to the current wording,
I hope you consider that Less is More.

Thanks for your consideration.
 
Good idea. Resources link could probably go and solve these issues too.

(I got no idea what "reviews" are, but)
if more pulldowns had to be added some day,
then in the gravest extreme,
the rest of the Resources menu items seem like
things that could be hidden under the <avatar><screen name> button.
And maybe are also accessible via the "Self" button on the menu bar already.

Not trying to complicate navigation -
maybe the Resources pulldown
is the most important feature for some people.

Jus' sayin'.
