=== How to move the items? ===

The page where user lands after logging in can be set in Admin area > Pages > Manage Pages section.

The menu item located first within the list is the one where people will be redirected after logging in. By default the Dashboard page is the first page. 

So if users should land on the Search page, simply drag and drop the Search menu item to the first place.

If the Join page should open first instead of the Index page, move the Join item to the first position. 

If you want to hide a page without deleting it, move the item to the **Hidden pages** area.
