Messages on sidebar might be better linking to inboxes in group context

At the moment, in the MESSAGES section, links go to:

• Inbox: /my/messages
• groups: /my/messages/group/group-name

If your site uses group messages a bit, this destination creates a lot of messy duplication:

Would it be possible to have the links in the MESSAGES section go to /g/group-name/messages/inbox instead? This is cleaner and opens up access to other group functions nicely as a bonus.

Also, it wouldn’t need to expand the new/unread/archive bit for groups. I’m not sure it adds anything for Inbox for that matter as this is also duplicated.

We’re going to be getting rid of these secondary vertical nav sections on user pages, so hopefully this is a short-lived problem!

That does make sense for those with the Sidebar.

But what about for those sites who aren’t using the Sidebar? It would be important for them to retain that stuff I believe.
