+## Project Description and Details
+
+Scroller is a website that will function as a Reddit-like clone, but much better. Scroller will allow registered users to participate in online discussion forums. Registered users can create discussion posts containing images, texts, and links and reply to any post or comment. Scroller will be supported on multiple web browsers and including on mobile devices. Using an asynchronous approach, Scroller will update in real-time. Overall, Scroller will be the version Reddit is meant to be, made from developers who care, and Scroller will create a community full of support.

+## Requirements List
+
+- Ensure that when a user logs on to the site, the menus will reflect the proper changes.
