What sitemap? You mean the menu at the top?

May I ask why you want this disabled? It doesnt impose on the UI, and only displays the exact content that is available to your mobile version anyway.

and what if I am on mobile, and want to access a folder/folder/folder without clicking 3 times? What if I want to figure out where exactly in the the website I am? What if I want to navigate back to the home page without clicking the "back" button unknown amounts of times? For these reason, and at the cost of having a subtle unimposing item available, this is why added it without a setting.

However if you are adamant on disabling the mobile menu here is how to do it. Go to Settings > Custom CSS > Mobile Gallery CSS and paste the following:

Given the number of folders I have on my site I feel the same way about the menu. For me... the menu would be much more useful if... when opened... would have the current folder selected. Without this functionality the feature does not add value.

Sorry, but this is exactly how menu works (or should work at least):

yes... however if the current folder is near the bottom of the menu... say... something inside of the Skiing folder... the menu will show items that are at the top of the menu. It would be nice if the menu would open up to the current folder.

Not quite sure how you propose this should happen. Do you suggest scrolling the menu upwards until its at currently selected item? I for one would get confused if the menu does not show the entire structure, and feel I could easily miss that there is something above.

I would suggest that the menu is perhaps functional for those with relatively small content structures. If they are very big/deep, then I would consider disabling the menu/tooltip in the first place, and leave navigation to the main area below the header.

I think the menu should open with the current/selected folder a couple of rows down from the top. This would enable the user to be able to see that there are items both above and below and could scroll to where they want to go from the current folder vs. from the top as the menu currently functions.

I am not sure they would "know" there are items above what is displayed in the menu. Normally, a menu starts from top, and in this case, there will certainly be a large amount of menu items hidden at the top. Likely they would find out, but you would be used to menus displaying from item1 and downwards, so could be missed. It would also require a javascript "scrollTo" function when the menu opens, which I am slightly skeptical about. We will definitely consider this though ...

If the site menu scrolls to the current selected folder... I think users will know exactly where they are given that they would have seen the other folders while navigating to the current folder via the primary menu. As mentioned above... I would scroll the menu to a point where the current folder is a few rows down from the top so the user can see that there are items above and below.

One of the features I really like about the site menu in it's current form is the "Home" link at the top. A nice feature for the user to be able to get back to the main menu easily if they are a few layers deep.

Currently, I don't use the Facebook share button on my mobile site. However I would definitely put a "Home" button in it's place if that were an option.

Loving the mobile site... thanks for looking into this stuff!

You had a point there, new mobile menu keeps current folder visible.

stoked... thanks Nick! Will keep an eye out for the next release.

super happy with the mobile site.
