Well, I like them. I think they're a great improvement.

I like them also, but they could do with moving up a couple of notches if at all possible.

I've posted about this in the Feedback forum - they are really getting on my nerves - you have to steer around them when pointing your mouse - very irritating..

they should (optionally?) only drop down on a mouse-click.

that notwithstanding, they are rather good..

I suggest you get this moved to 'website feedback'!

Didn't know there was one :dopeygitiam: -obviously the menus are restricting my vision

-I don't mind them, they're just in the way. As CarZee says, you have to move round them, going for the browser refesh button for instance

My sentiments - nice features, just need to be a bit higher out of the way is all.

Interesting thoughts...

Slightly annoying (mainly coz I read in a very small window whilst at, ahem !, "work" ergo when they "pop down" they hide most of what I'm trying to read). But easy enough to get used to.

Sorry, but I have to agree with the general concensus that the position of the new drop downs, though a good idea in principal, are a pain in the rear.

I agree, but i like it that they go away after about a second if you don't click on anything.

Click not rollover, if just looking at them on their own. However the real estate of your pages are tight enough as it is. I would imagine you need to take a more comprehensive review of navigation and its benefits before implementing these additional menus.

I dont like them because my computer is simply too slow to handle them; but quick rollover does nothing. Its more like holdover, waaaait, slide mouse, waaait, click. My poor fault of course:'( i prefer the old system
