| Mar 30, 2017 at 19:53 | comment | added | EKons | @Mathlight Also, if something doesn't appear clickable, the user might not even bother to hover it, assuming that it isn't clickable. | |
| Mar 30, 2017 at 15:48 | comment | added | KlaymenDK | @xxtesaxx: At least, this is valid on sites that don't override the link styling to remove the underline, as seems to become ever more &%##%!! popular... | |

| Mar 29, 2017 at 14:03 | comment | added | xxtesaxx | Take a look at Dipaks answer. Simply underlining the label will make it immediately clear that it is clickable. Or at least underline it if you hover over it. Otherwise how about having a separate shevron to the left and right of the bar or elsewhere on the page? Also if i as a user want to go a step back, I usually use the back and forth buttons of my browser. | |

@Mathlight cursor: pointer is not as useful as it used to be. Mobile users (phone, tablet) have a touch screen and no mouse. There is no cursor, and they don't scrub the page for information.

| Mar 29, 2017 at 13:13 | comment | added | TripeHound | Most "where you are" bars (that I've attempted to click on) haven't been, and mostly I wouldn't expect them to be (forward and back buttons at the bottom, yes; clicking on the navigation at the top, no). Of your three examples, only the middle one would I even think might be clickable: the other two (particularly the top one) are like stops on a train-line: they show you where you are, but it's the driver (not you) that determines when to go forward or not. | |

One simple thing that helps making me understand if something is clickable: cursor: pointer inside your CSS...
