Kristina,

I wonder whether we even need most of those links at all (I assume
you're talking about the top links in the small view header).  I think
when I created that header I lazily just used the same variable that was
holding the main top level site menu, so you just get the same stuff.
But Paul & Evonne both think there are way too many links there.  It
would be good to cut it down to just one or two that are the most useful
places to go when you're looking at a view.

For example, after looking at a view I quite often want to go to My
Views, but almost never want to go to Edit profile or Groups.  Maybe
those two links could be removed altogether.  (I agree about adding the
'Home' link, by the way).

R.

Bug description:
I still have trouble clicking on the correct link and think and adjustment may be necessary. 

When I click on my name, I am taken to my profile page as others can see it.

When I click on "Profile", I can edit my profile, but I would think that I could actually view it.

Having the name and "Profile" right next to each other is not ideal, I think, because they are almost the same, but not quite.

When I'm on my profile page (the view), I don't know how to get back to my dashboard -> Oh. I have to click on the Mahara logo.

I like that we have "Settings" instead of the username in the top right because that already lessens confusion.

What about the following:
- Include a link "Home" in the navigation links before the others.
- "Profile" (also in the tabs on the dashboard page etc.) links to the profile view.
- And somewhere we need a link "Edit Profile Information" to get to all that stuff. It could go next to "Edit Content" (though then people might be confused to distinguish between adding profile info and dragging that info into a view).

Any ideas?
