Well for me anyway.
One of the big flaws about WordPress admin, that seems to go unchecked from version to version, is that each admin element requires a separate pageload. For example, to moderate my Akismet spam list, before going to Better Comments Manager to reply to comments meant:
- Clicking on comments=1 pageload.
- Click on Akismet=2nd pageload.
- If there’s no spam comments (it does happen), I click on BCM=3rd pageload.
- If there is, I moderate the comments, recover the non-spam and move on to BCM.
But after installing Admin Drop Down Menus from YellowSwordfish.com, I can now just hover over the comments tabs, and if Akismet has a (0) next to it, it’s straight to BCM in a single pageload - it’s nicer to be just more efficient with your bandwidth for one thing, and on days when your ISP or Webhost is running through treacle, this will be a great frustration saver.
Here’s what it looks like in action:
Just visit the link, download, upload to your blog and activate - nothing else required. For those of you already in the know, make sure you have 2.2.1 the latest version.
Why isn’t this standard with WordPress?
