Why would i want to install these featureson this Forum ?
1. Decrease Server Resources
2. Increase Usability

How does this help with server resources?
Typically if you want to edit or view your personal information you would click the UserCP navbar link (wait for the page to load) and click the option you wish to view.
Did you know?
You just hit the server with 11 Queries + HTTP Request + Bandwidth just for visiting the UserCP default page. What's worst is that this is not the page that you want to view. Yep, you guessed it there goes an additional hit to the server.
I have added this modification to bypass the UserCP default page.
The savings are HUGE especially on this site.

How does this help with usability?
Private Messages are used more frequently than any other user option.
- Moving this to the top will give members quicker access.
- Displaying custom folders will also bypass some pages (clicks) and therefore decrease server resources.
Collapsing/Expanding some of the options will provide members quicker access to what is important to them.
