I used a tutorial I found on the MyBB website and just thought it would be nice to post it in here as it's quite good for this feature. I adjusted little bits of the css to fit on my site but it should be fairly straight forward. The original thread can be found here. While I did adjust the css slightly, the demo can be tried out on my site as the "mechanics" behind haven't been changed. Make sure to backup your templates before editing in case you mess it up.
Thank you to WallBB for this tutorial :)!


Add this code where you want the navigation to be (you need to be aware of the code that is currently your navigation).

PHP:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
? ? ? ? <nav>
? ? ?  <label for="drop" class="toggle"><i class="fa fa-bars" aria-hidden="true"></i> Menu</label>
? ? ?  <input type="checkbox" id="drop" />
? ? ? ? ?  <ul class="menu">
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php" class="Home"><span><i class="fa fa-home" aria-hidden="true"></i> Home</span></a></li>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php" class="Members"><span><i class="fa fa-user" aria-hidden="true"></i> Memberlist</span></a></li>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php" class="Search"><span><i class="fa fa-search" aria-hidden="true"></i> Search</span></a></li>
? ? ? ? ? ? ?  <li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/advertise.php"><span><i class="fa fa-globe" aria-hidden="true"></i> Advertise</span></a></li> 
? ? ? ? ? ? ?  <li>
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?  <!-- First Tier Drop Down -->
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?  <label for="drop-1" class="toggle">Dropdown <i class="fa fa-sort-desc" aria-hidden="true"></i></label>
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?  <a href="#">Dropdown</a>
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?  <input type="checkbox" id="drop-1"/>
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?  <ul>
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?  <li><a href="#">Links</a></li>
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?  <li><a href="#">Links</a></li>
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?  <li><a href="#">Links</a></li>
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?  </ul> 
? ? ? ? ? ? ?  </li>
? ? ? ? ? ? ?  <li>
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help" class="help"><span><i class="fa fa-question"></i> {$lang->toplinks_help}</span></a></li>
? ? ? ? ?  </ul>
</nav>

I will have to admit that this code does look very complicated compared to the other ones. Maybe it will help to have notes in teh code as well to help people to understand it.
