Is it possible to put static page links up inside the nav bar?

I believe that this is no longer possible in the default interface - it was a potentially damaging process for your site. What you are looking for would be a custom (or invalid item) entry in the `top menu` of the site.

I do believe that this can be changed by creating a theme component that would determine a new, valid, menu item that could then be added to the `top menu` under settings.

If an invalid item is the first item in the SiteSetting.top\_menu list, the site will broken in a way that can’t be fixed through the UI. I’m not sure if there’s ever a reason to be able to add custom menu items to the top\_menu list. [07%20PM] [34%20PM]

I there a reason you need them there? You do have control over the header space for links:
