    What names have you seen for Quick Links before on other forums?

    I have seen Quickies on one forum.

    I've never seen it named anything else, but other possible names could be "Links", "Helpful Links", "Handy Links".

    Moved to Community Organization.

    I renamed it to "Tools" a long time ago. mainly because at the time we were short of navbar space and it's shorter that way. But we've stuck with it as it sounds more logical.

    I also renamed UserCP to "My Account".

    On one forum I'm a member on it's been moved to the end of the navbar and simply named, "More".

    I call them 'Options', and rename User CP to 'My Controls'.

    When I first started posting on forums, I had NO idea what UserCP meant (I was very green on the internet, too), and I like "My Controls". :)

    I don't like UserCP, usually I name it User Panel, I think I will start naming it 'Your Settings' or 'Your Control Panel'.

    X3 In my new design I'll incorporate better words to describe the forum sections.
