I like the clean new look. I just have a couple issues with the idea bank section:

1. We lose the top menu when clicking on "Ideas." It sticks for the other three sections. I'm guessing this is because the idea bank is hosted by Aha, but it is kind of disconcerting.

2. Direct links to ideas can't be found in the address bar when you are looking at the idea. This is important for sharing ideas with others.

The only ways around this are to either right click on the idea name on the search/idea home screen to copy the link or manually filling in the idea number at the end of "https://blackbaud-developer.ideas.aha.io/ideas/API-I-" which is cumbersome.

Hey @Sunshine Reinken Watson thanks for the feedback! You are correct about the iframing of Aha. I'll get in there today and play around and see what I can add though on the page. I love that you added a how-to get the link. That's also a limitation to the iframing, but it does help others looking to see how they can grab a clean link. You rock!
