Navbar Changes for Members
The navbar is also different for the member (or registered user), as it has several significant and useful additions.
The first is a User CP (User Control Panel). After all, moderators and administrators both have their own CP, so why not users? In the User CP, the user can change their default settings, passwords, and email addresses, they can post signatures (default text that appears at the end of their posts) and avatars (images that appear next to their posts), and they can send private messages (messages sent to other users) and attachments.

Another useful feature is the Quick Links navbar menu.
