How to add a group on the left in VK. Types of VKontakte menu. Management and settings of VK menu sections. How to add a group to the left menu in VK in the new version if you are not the creator

Social network In contact with. Once, writing an article about that, he noted that one of the advantages or advantages is that, if desired, a person can freely remove himself from the social network. And here’s another plus regarding the functionality of the social network - the ability to create a VKontakte menu for yourself, located on the left panel. Because, I am sure that there are sections of the menu that the user does not need.

In the same editable menu, there are My settings. Click My settings. By default, you end up in the General tab. The heading Additional Services appears in front of you, you see a list of possible menus. If you noticed, there are marks next to each line. Now, by checking these boxes, you will add a menu item to the left panel, but if you uncheck the box, the line from the menu will disappear. It’s true that you won’t be able to remove my friends, my photographs and my videos, although theoretically there is such a possibility, but practically not. That's how it was for me. But I think that there are no such people who do not use the menu items my friends, my photographs and my videos.

So edit the menu to suit you. Good luck!

If you can't make a menu

It was not possible to make a VKontakte menu using these instructions, write to us by clicking Ask a Question. Write down your problem and the steps you took. We will answer personally.

To the question “how to create a menu for a VKontakte group” there are three main answer options: order from a specialist, create using an online designer, or tinker, delve into some of the intricacies of the issue and do everything yourself.

In this article we will look at all three options one by one. By the way, if you still doubt the need for a menu for your group or public, then be sure to read.

So here are three ways to create a menu:

Each of them, of course, has its own advantages and disadvantages. Below we will talk about the first two in a little more detail. And for those who still decide to take the third path and do everything on their own, we wrote detailed guide(instructions).

By the way, for those who prefer to receive information through videos rather than read long texts, there is a video:

Path #1. Order menu creation from a specialist designer

The advantages of this method are relative speed and minimal participation on your part. Disadvantages - the highest price and the chance to get a beautiful, but incorrect menu (we have prepared about the main mistakes when creating a menu). In addition, you still need to find a performer. Here we can recommend looking for it on the kwork.ru service, in the “Design of groups in social networks” section.

Path #2. Using the online constructor

Here, of course, we will recommend our designer, whose website you are currently on. You can try it for free. Payment is made only if the result suits you and you decide to upload the resulting menu to your group. The advantages of this route are that it is the fastest. In addition, if necessary, you can always quickly edit and reload your menu for half the cost of creation. This is more convenient than searching for a designer every time you need, for example, to add or remove an item from a menu. The disadvantages of this method are that you will have to work quite a bit on your own.

Path #3. Do it all yourself

The advantages of this path are obvious: it is free, and you acquire new skills. The disadvantages are: you need some skills and quite a lot of time (for the first time). Here's what you need:

Be able to use it confidently graphic editor. For example, PhotoShop. When making a menu, you will first need to make an image of the correct dimensions (down to the pixel, no “about”!), and then cut it correctly (break it into fragments)
Be able to understand instructions and read them carefully
Don’t give up and don’t despair if something doesn’t work out the first time

If you think you can handle all this, then let's get started.

Step #0. General information about how the VK group menus are structured

The menu for the group is made from wiki pages, the creation of which is supported by VK. Wiki pages are special pages that can only be created in public pages. They differ from regular posts in that they can use so-called wiki markup. This markup is special code that is converted into additional formatting objects. To make it clearer, let us explain. For example, in regular posts you can use only plain text, but wiki markup allows you to highlight parts of the text in bold or italics. That is, she enters additional features registration In particular, the ability to post images, when clicked on, the user will be redirected to a link. It is these additional formatting options that are used to create the VK public menu. We will tell you exactly how to do this below.

Step 1. Preparatory stage

If you have an existing group, we recommend creating a new one. For testing and experiments. Otherwise, during the learning process, you risk inundating your subscribers with strange and unnecessary updates.

So you've created new group. Let's now find out the identifier (ID) of your group. The group ID is its unique VKontakte number. Go to your group and click on “Community Posts” (if there are no posts in the group, then “No Posts” will appear instead of “Community Posts”). In You will go to new page with an address like this:

https://vk.com/wall- XXX?own=1

Instead of XXX you will have a set of numbers (and only numbers!). This is your community ID. For example, in our test group this is 154457305.

Now let's create a new wiki page in the group. To do this, we will create a link like this:

http://vk.com/pages?oid=- group_id&p= Page_name

http://vk.com/pages?oid=- 154457305 &p= Menu

Open the resulting link in your browser (copy it into the address bar of your browser and go to the address). That's it, you have created a wiki page called “Menu” (if, of course, you specified “Menu” as the page name in the link). You should see text like this: “The Menu page is empty. Fill it with content." In the upper right corner there is a pencil icon (). Click on it to go to editing the page.

The VK wiki page editor has two modes: graphic and markup mode. Modes are switched using the button in the upper right part of the editor (). When the button is highlighted in blue, it means that markup mode is enabled. The visual editing mode is more convenient, because allows you to do without knowledge of wiki markup syntax, but its functionality is extremely limited: you can only do the simplest things in it. Basically you will have to deal with markup mode.

Notice two things. Firstly, to the left of the button for switching editing modes there is a call button reference information according to wiki markup (). Very useful thing, especially for beginners. The second point you need to pay attention to is the address of the wiki page. IN address bar in your browser you will see something like this:

http://vk.com/page-group_id _XXX?act=edit§ion=edit

Part of the address before the "?" - this is the address of your wiki page. Write it down somewhere: in VK there is no way to see a list of your wiki pages and links to them. To go to the one you need, you need to know its address or use the link to create a wiki page again. Using last method keep in mind that pages, if they already exist, are not recreated.

Step #2. Making a simple menu for a VKontakte group

So, we have created a wiki page “Menu”. Go to the editor's markup mode and add the following code:

Click on the “Preview” button, which is located at the bottom of the editor. You should see a list of three links. The first two are external and lead to the main pages of Yandex and Google, respectively. The third link is internal. It leads to a public VK with ID “1” (this is the official VK group for developers). If your preview displays your code, and not links (which you can click on) - it means you entered the code in visual editing mode, and not in markup mode. Be careful!

Please note that external links in the VK wiki code are formatted with single brackets, and internal links with double brackets. In this case, internal VK links are indicated not as the usual website address, but as a pointer to a particular VK object. For example, a pointer to a group has the following form:

club group_id

On VKontakte there are pointers not only to groups, but also to individual photographs, posts, wiki pages, user pages, audio recordings, etc. Each index has its own recording form. We'll use some of them later and look at them in more detail.

Be sure to save the page. Basically, we've just created a very basic navigation page. Which is nothing more than the simplest menu for VKontakte group. Of course, this is not a graphical menu yet, but even it can cope with the main task of the menu - quickly direct users to the desired public location. We'll look at how to make a graphical menu a little later.

Now let's figure out how and where you can use wiki pages.

Step #3. Where can I post VKontakte wiki pages?

There are two main places: you can create a post with a link to the wiki page or post it in the “Materials” section of your community.

Let's start with the first option. Start adding new entry on your group wall. First, attach any photo to it. It is better to take a fairly large photo whose width is greater than its height. Then paste into the text the record being created a link to the wiki page you created with a simple menu. This is what we asked you to write down a little earlier. Let us remind you that the link looks like this ( you will have different numbers):

http://vk.com/page-121237693_72827423

Now delete text links from the input field. The link itself under the photo will not disappear. But if you leave the link address in the text field, it will appear as text in the post. Publish the post, reload the browser page with the main page of your group and pin the created post. Reload the page again. As a result of these manipulations, you should get something like this:

Click on the photo in the pinned post: your wiki page should appear with a simple group menu.

So, we learned that wiki pages can be attached to posts. In particular - to the assigned post. The second place where you can use wiki markup is the “Materials” section.

Go to the community settings and find there managing community sections (services). Mark "Materials" as "Restricted". A new item will now appear at the top of your community's home page. It is located to the right of the “Information” item. When you first turn on materials in a group, this item is called “Latest News” by default. This is what it looks like:

Go to this new item. Click on the “Edit” checkbox. As a result, you will find yourself in the wiki page editor you are already familiar with. The only difference is that there is an input field for the page name. Change it from "Latest News" to "Menu2". IN markup editing mode enter the following code:

"""Menu option for the "Materials" section"""

[]

Make a preview (links already familiar to us should appear) and save the page. Essentially, this page is the main (root) wiki page of your group. True, there is no special practical meaning in this difference from other wiki pages.

Go to home page your group, reboot it and see what happens. We recommend viewing your group from a mobile browser and from the VK application. You will notice that the arrangement of elements and the operating logic are slightly different everywhere. You need to have a good understanding of what belongs to what and where it is shown.

We learned that the menu can be placed in two places. It is preferable to make it both as a pinned post and in the “Materials” section. Remember two things:

The pinned post will be seen by 98% of your visitors, and only 25-40% of the most curious will get to the materials section, as well as loyal old users of your group who know that there is something useful there.
A pinned entry with a picture to open the menu can be supplemented with text. This way you won't lose this pinned post feature. But you shouldn’t overdo it either: the more text, the lower the link to open your menu will be.

Wiki markup is not the most powerful tool and not the most convenient. Its functionality is very limited. In addition, it was developed at the dawn of the development of VKontakte and exclusively for its browser version on desktop computers and laptops. Therefore, its work in the application and on mobile devices best described by the expression “as God puts it on your soul.” Unfortunately, there is nothing better in VK yet.

By the way. You can link from one wiki page to another. It works something like this: the user opens (for example, using a link image in a post) the first wiki page. And it contains links to other wiki pages. Clicking on these links will open the corresponding wiki page. In this way you can create quite complex and multi-level menus and, for example, instructions. However, we do not advise you to get too carried away with this unnecessarily.

Step #4. How to make a menu in a VKontakte group. Graphic

So, the basic principles have been mastered. Let's move on to designing a graphical menu. Let’s immediately say that we will create a fairly simple menu: a vertical row of buttons with links. But don’t rush to say “no, I wanted a super complex menu” and close this guide. Now we will explain why.

Firstly, moving from simple to complex is usually the most effective way to master new knowledge. By learning how to make a relatively simple menu, you will learn 90% of the techniques for creating menus for VK groups.

And secondly, as we have already said, VK wiki markup was introduced at a time when mobile applications Few people have even heard of it. Our conditionally “simple” menu will work as correctly and efficiently as possible everywhere: in the browser version of VK, in mobile browsers and finally in the application. Many “complex” menus cannot boast of this. Moreover, in most cases, a “simple” menu will work better than a “complex” one, which “falls apart” when viewed in the official VKontakte application. Most often, it is better to focus on this menu option. Yes, there are some pretty ornate menu implementations. You can experiment with them too. But our experience says that they will add virtually no real benefit - conversions, purchases and reputation. But there may well be problems.

Our test menu will look like this:

Just two buttons. The first will lead to the main page of Yandex, and the second will lead to the VK group “VKontakte Team”.

The vertical graphic menu in VK is an image cut into strips. These stripes are placed with markings one below the other on the wiki page. Some of these "lanes" are assigned links. When you click on such a link image, you actually follow this link. One page is one link. Some bands (for example, intermediate ones, which are located between points), on the contrary, are assigned the absence of a link. Such stripes become “unclickable”.

Making a vertical graphic menu for a VK group comes down to the following sequence of actions:

The first thing you need to do is draw a menu. The width must be strictly 600px(pixels). We recommend making the menu no more than 900px in height. The result is best saved in PNG format, as a last resort - JPG. Use drawing tools that are familiar and convenient to you (such as Photoshop or GIMP). The result here depends 95% on your creative and technical skills. Even if you don’t know how to use graphic editors at all, don’t despair. The skills that will be sufficient can be acquired in a maximum of a couple of hours. There is a huge amount of reference and educational information on the Internet. In addition, the ability to use a graphic editor at least a little is very, very useful for public administrators. You won't waste your time.
Next, the picture with the menu is cut into horizontal stripes. You can do this in any way convenient for you: from the familiar Photoshop to various online services. If you have no idea how to do this, just ask your favorite search engine. We will not describe in detail the technical part of the cutting process: there are dozens of methods, some are suitable for some users, but not for others. When cutting, you must follow one simple rule: the height of one strip should not be less than 60px. Otherwise, you may have problems with displaying the menu in the application and in mobile browsers: so-called. "white stripes" between images.
The cut "strips" are uploaded to the group album or album on the group admin page. We recommend the second option. In any case, an album with cut-out parts of the menu should be V open access . Otherwise, those users for whom album images are not available will not see your menu!
Wiki markup code is compiled and inserted into the desired wiki page.
The group contains a pinned post with an image link to a wiki page with a menu. We wrote in detail above about how such a post is made. In addition, the code (with minor changes) can be added to the root wiki page (the item to the right of the “Information” item appears when the “Materials” section is enabled. For more details, see above).

Now let’s look at loading parts of the menu and wiki code in more detail. We have prepared for you. It has two directories: “1” and “2”. The first contains parts of the most primitive and simple option cuts for our menu - into two parts. Download the archive, upload images (1.png and 2.png) from directory “1” to a new album (on your page or in a group).

We have two “strips”: the top (with the “Yandex” button) and the bottom (with the “VK Team” button). Both will be link images. In the wiki markup this is done with code like this:

"LINK"- this is the target link. For example, https://yandex.ru/. In addition to the usual external links can be an indication of a VKontakte object: post, user page or group. For example, so that after clicking a button there is a transition to the “VKontakte Team” community, you can specify both its address (https://vk.com/team) and a pointer to it (club22822305). In principle, there will be no difference. External links(those that do not lead to VK resources) we we recommend reducing by using

Good afternoon everyone. It's time to talk about managing various actions on our social network page. So in this short article we will look at different kinds VKontakte menu and we will see how you manage your VK page through them.

? If you trust Wikipedia, it gives the following definition. This is an interface element that allows you to select one of several listed program options (in our case, the VKontakte website). In modern operating systems the menu is the most important element GUI user.

Same thing in VK. Using the menu, you can quickly navigate through sections of the site, go to page settings, quickly perform various actions, such as searching, sorting, etc. Let's look at what types of menus exist and why each of them is needed.

Three types of VKontakte menu

settings menu;
main side;
menu of sections or pages of VKontakte;

Each of them is responsible for either certain settings, or for certain actions. With their help, you can configure your profile or individual actions, as well as simply navigate through sections.

Page settings menu

Access to it is in the upper right part of the page - where the miniature of our avatar is located. To activate, you just need to click on the thumbnail and a drop-down list will open.

What can you do here? do or change? In the “Edit” section you can fill in or. In the “Settings” section you can configure parameters such as, etc. If you suddenly have any questions about the site, go to the “Help” section, select the desired section and read the information. To quickly find the answer you need, use the search in the help sections.

The last item “Exit” allows you to end the current session. How to leave VKontakte on various devices, described.

All user page settings and profile information are configured through this menu. As a rule, all these actions are performed at . If you have just recently created a page on VK, then we advise you to set up and fill out your profile, and at the same time understand all the sections of this menu (see the articles linked above).

Main menu. VKontakte pages and access to them.

The side menu is the basis of work and navigation on the site. All the main VKontakte pages are collected here. let's consider full list sections and find out who is responsible for what.

Games. The name speaks for itself. All games of the VKontakte social network are located here, and the latest games that you and your friends played (and what they achieved in these games) are also displayed;
Goods. Here is a list of all products that are sold on the social network. You can use the search to find required product, and you can also add your own product.

Last two sections - “Bookmarks” And "Documentation" disabled by default. In a nutshell... Bookmarks displays photos, videos, products or news that you like (and like). You can also add interesting people or interesting links to bookmarks so that you can quickly find them later. “Documents” displays all attachments that you sent in messages or any documents that you uploaded to the site. As a rule, most users do not particularly need these sections, so they are not initially displayed by default, but you can always add them there if you wish. Below we'll talk about how to add or remove sections from the side menu.

Menu of “VK” pages.

The pages menu (or auxiliary) is available for such sections as “News”, “Messages”, “Friends”, “Groups”, “Products”, “Bookmarks” and “Documents”. It is located in the upper right corner and consists of several points. It was created to carry out certain operations on the page, sort data, manage advanced search, etc. Let's look at an example of a secondary menu for the “News” page. This is what it looks like:

For example, with it you can sort news and display only new photos or videos, news from friends or communities, and also look at comments under the media files you like. Here you can also see recommended news, find the news you need from a huge list, and see updates from your friends and communities. We will look at this menu in more detail in the article about.

As we can see, the page menu is a very convenient tool for sorting or searching for a specific section. With its help, you can flexibly sort events that have happened in the life of a social network or almost instantly find the necessary news using an advanced search.

Let's take a look at the secondary menu on the Friends page. It looks like this:

As we can see, here you can also sort flexibly - show all friends, or only new ones. You can view friend requests, and using the “ Phone book” you can display a list of your friends’ contacts (phone or Skype). In the “Friend Lists” section, you can sort your friends by the categories in which you have placed them (relatives, best friends, colleagues, etc.), and also through the “Search” section you can find friends using the advanced search with many different parameters.

As we can see, the auxiliary menu is a powerful sorting and searching tool. In the following articles, when we consider each VKontakte page separately, we will study each menu in depth and analyze in detail what each item is responsible for.

How to make a “VKontakte” menu

You can add or exclude some items from the main side menu. It should be remembered that there are sections that cannot be removed from there. These include sections:

My page;
News;
Messages;
Friends

All other items can be added to or removed from the main menu at your discretion. This is done simply. Go to the settings menu, “Settings”, “General” tab.

Next we go to the item settings window. Here we can check the boxes next to the items we want to display. When the required sections are selected, all that remains is to click the “Save” button. As we have already said, the first four points are mandatory and cannot be disabled.

That's all. Now you can go to the main page and see the updated menu. As you can see, there is nothing complicated. This concludes our article.

Back in 2009, Pavel Durov added the ability to display VKontakte communities in left menu For quick access to him. But even now not everyone knows how to do this. In this article we will tell you how to optimize your access to the group you most visit.

Today we will tell you how you can add a group or community to the left menu on your personal VKontakte page, you will find step by step instructions with screenshots.

How to add a group to the left menu of VK in the new version

Previously, the process of moving a group to the main menu took much longer now. Now all you need to do is make a couple of mouse clicks to make your life easier. In order to add a group to the list of tabs, you must perform the following steps:

So in a simple way in a couple of mouse clicks you can add any community to the left side of the application screen. However, remember that there is a limit on the number of items, so adding all the groups to which you are subscribed in large quantities is unlikely to work.

By the way, messages that will come to your community will now be displayed in the same way as, for example, personal messages or tags on a photo are displayed. Very comfortably.

How to add a group to the left menu in VK in the new version if you are not the creator

In a situation where you are not the creator of the group, but an administrator or director, manager or other team member who is part of Contacts in the same way as the creator, you can add a group to the left side of the page. However, to do this, you must be granted permissions to manage the group, as determined by the creator. If you have the rights, then by following the points described above in the article, you can improve and facilitate community management.

Conclusion

This is how easy it is, by following our instructions, you can save your own time and optimize the community management process by placing it on the main page, always visible. Using this method, you can add a group, game or other available item to the menu.

Social network VKontakte. Once, writing an article about that, he noted that one of the advantages or advantages is that, if desired, a person can freely remove himself from the social network. And here’s another plus regarding the functionality of the social network - the ability to create a VKontakte menu for yourself, located on the left panel. Because, I am sure that there are sections of the menu that the user does not need.

So edit the menu to suit you. Good luck!

If you can't make a menu

It was not possible to make a VKontakte menu using these instructions, write to us by clicking Ask a Question. Write down your problem and the steps you took. We will answer personally.

Hello! I am Adel Davletshin, head of SMM projects at the FriendMedia bureau

Personal messages from the community

Surely everyone has already seen the “Write a message” button and knows about community messages. This function allows you to establish feedback with the community administration. While administrators might not notice a comment under a news story a month ago or in one of a dozen discussions, it’s hard not to notice a +1 in community messages.

To start using this feature, you must enable it. The settings for this section are located in the “messages” tab in community management.

It's cool that you can write a greeting message. You can also add a group to the left menu of the social network, where +1 will appear opposite the community when you receive a new message to the group.

Description, info

Tabs with information about the community and wiki pages are now always visible, even if the news is pinned in the group. Therefore, it is important to complete the description and wiki section so that followers can understand the benefits of the group. It will be sad if someone wants to read the description of the group, but there is emptiness there.

The section that we call “articles” can be called anything you like. We go to this section, click “edit” and write any suitable name for the content. This could be advice, interesting news, menus or articles from experts.

We have already written tips for writing a group description in this article:

Wiki menu

The functionality and benefits of the wiki menu have not changed in any way. But we want to remind you of the importance of having a menu to help subscribers navigate the group. If you design the menu in the style of the community cover, it will be absolutely beautiful :)

You can learn how to work with wiki markup here: vk.com/wiki

Applications

In groups, applications are highlighted in a separate block on the right. Conveniently, the name of the button can be changed in the “community management” settings. But the disappointing thing is that you can only add one application to the community. Therefore, you have to choose which one suits you best.

Even if you don't sell tickets, sign up for an event, or accept requests, it's worth adding a questionnaire or humorous survey to engage your subscribers in conversation and get feedback.

Goods

The group is decorated with the completed “Products” section. Place the products or services you sell in this section. This way, subscribers can quickly navigate, select and order what they need. You can add current promotions and discounts to products.

Don't forget to select suitable images for product design, add a description, price and channel for feedback. Users will see all this by clicking on a specific product and will be able to contact you.

And if you don't sell anything and your services are free, it's still worth talking about your capabilities and adding them to your products with a call to action. For example, this could be a search for an employee, or some kind of comic product, like a survey in an application to involve subscribers in communication.

Discussions

Links

Share links to your website, accounts on other social networks and links to other useful sources in the “links” block. It’s sad to see in groups a link to Instagram with the caption “Our Instagram!” or without a signature at all. What's your Instagram? What should I do with it? Why go there? It is important to label these links in a way that generates interest. This can be done with a short description and call to action. For example, “choose from a convenient catalog on our website.” Short, useful and understandable.

Albums

Contacts

There were also those who asked, “Why register contacts when there are community messages?” Counter question: “Then why not turn off all comments and delete discussions?” Because community messages are one of the feedback tools. And social networks are created for communication. Agree that it is more pleasant to communicate with a person than with an impersonal community. By writing to a person from the “contacts” block, we understand with whom we are conducting a dialogue, who this person is and what questions we can contact him about. Therefore, you should not hide behind the name of the group and give subscribers the opportunity to see you and communicate in person.

Here are some examples of well-designed groups:

Good cover and product section

Short and clear description

Usefully filled section with wiki pages

Interesting test

Simple and clear menu

Useful discussions

Bright album covers

Over the past year, VKontakte has been actively changing and introducing more and more new tools and capabilities. It's important to keep up with innovations to make your social media community effective for your business or brand.

Have all the sections in your group been filled out? In order not to forget anything or get confused, we have compiled a special checklist for community design. Print, follow and check your employees against the checklist. Then you will be sure that you have not missed anything. You can download the checklist for community design

All other items can be added to or removed from the main menu at your discretion. This is done simply. Go to the settings menu, “Settings”, “General” tab.

That's all. Now you can go to the main page and see the updated menu. As you can see, there is nothing complicated. This concludes our article.

Hello, friends. Everything moves, everything changes. The social network Vkontakte also does not stand still. So my publication about the creation of a single block on VKontakte Avatar+Menu has become irrelevant today. Now, when creating a group, the News block, which was necessary for such a menu, is simply missing.

Fortunately, Vkontakte has the ability to create wiki pages. Using such a wiki page, we can create a community menu, and then pin this menu to the top of the group.

So, let's take it in order.

How to create a wiki page?

1. Create a link like this in the address bar of your browser:

xxx– id of your group or public page;
Page_name– any word you use to name your page.

How to find out your community ID? If the id is not contained in the link, for example, https://vk.com/make_community, you can find it out as follows. Click on the title of the group wall, where the number of publications is written.

Your community wall will open separately. There will be numbers in the address bar. This is your community id.

2. Follow the link you created and click “Fill with content.”

3. Fill your page with content. For example, we need a graphical menu in the form of separate buttons. First we create the entire image.

Then we cut it into separate buttons. In this particular case, we should have four button images.

We return to our page and, using the built-in editor, load our button images.

After loading all the images it should look like this:

By clicking on any of the pictures, you can specify a link to the page where this menu item will lead. This can be either your community page or a page on an external website or online store.

We create a menu.

You should get a post like this on the wall of your VKontakte group:

How to pin a menu?

All we have to do is pin the menu to the top of the group. To do this, click on the text in front of the picture in the post. In the window that opens, click “Pin” at the bottom right.

All. Now we should get something like this:

If you want to make the menu and avatar seem like one whole, just choose a picture so that it is a logical continuation of your group’s avatar.

In all VKontakte communities where information can be structured, I recommend creating a menu. This will definitely improve the user experience for your community. And we discussed how to fix the VKontakte menu on specific example. It remains to wish you good luck in the development and promotion of your communities!
