Well there is a lot of questions asking "HOW DO I DO THIS OR DO THAT TO THE NAVBAR??" and well i cant blame them, i really cant. The navbar is a cluttered mess that makes it almost impossible for someone who is not experienced with working with the template system to add something. Well i took the last 3 days I'm fixing up this template to make it legible. I put countless comments in it to make is so anyone can work with it.
Problems some people are having.
- If the drop down menus stop working you may have to revert the template and reput in the code. This is a common error with the default theme, seems to be less of a issue with most other themes.

<!-- Tips And
- If the Drop down menus stop working or are really messed up check to make sure your "if" statements are set up correctly. The very last /if statement has to be used to close the if statement for the "if condition show pop ups" or all the pop up menus will stop working.
