Question

inbox button (now I have one...)

I have been a little frustrated with the forums and getting to the inbox quickly.

If anyone else is finding this an annoyance this may be a solution.

I use Chrome and it has an addon called tampermonkey.

this should also work with firefoxes addon, greasemonkey.

here is the very simple script I have written to give me a link straight to my forum inbox.

// ==UserScript==

// @name         Adobe Forums Inbox Link

// @version      0.1

// @description  adds a link directly to your inbox

// @author       Qwertyfly

// @match        https://forums.adobe.com/*

// ==/UserScript==

var Qitem = document.createElement ('li');

Qitem.innerHTML = '<a href="/inbox" class="j-globalNavLink j-ui-elem" role="menuitem"><span class="nav-link">inbox</span></a>';

Qitem.setAttribute ('id', 'myButton1');

Qitem.setAttribute ('class', 'active  j-globalNav-li j-ui-elem')

document.getElementById ("j-globalNav").appendChild (Qitem);

if anyone would like to use this feel free.

also, let me know if you have improvements...

I'm happy to help anyone who needs a hand getting this up and running.

Why not just bookmark it?

Why not just have a button on the page that needs it.

If your happy to have it as a bookmark then do that.

I think this should be there and it works for me,

and I posted this so that if anyone else would like to use it they can.

Adobe removed the default navigation menu on the left side of the welcome page as they want users to follow a different route into the site. We don't encourage users to hack the site pages - things like class identifiers can change without warning and the CSS assumes the page content is exactly as-served.

If there are unread items in your Inbox, the notification icon appears next to your avatar - click it to open the summary, click any item to go there. Just like Facebook. If your Inbox is empty, access it via the avatar > Inbox and Activity link.
