    We've upgraded our menu to the latest version, so it should be visible on even more browsers.

    New feature - current location is highlighted on the menu.

    Oh, I updated the boards logos as well, to enhance our eyes brand :)

    I'm getting error reports and menu lag on the drop down boxes but only on the www.boards.ie page.

    Is this only in the "subbed" menu?

    Konqueror weirdness: (v3.1.3 on KDE 3.1.3).

    Doesn't seem to support the 3rd-level menus. (like boards.ie >> Bulletin Boards >> menu )

    Just as a matter of interest, did the old menu work on Konq 3?

    Nope, should work for all forums you navigate to via the menu.

    Not so sure about the black arrows in the root, (horizontal), menu. They're great in the dropdowns tho.

    A new arrow can be designed for the root menu later on...

    Hmm - only getting it on the subbed menu (using Firebird 0.7). IE 6 is showing the location on all menus...

    while you're rooting around in the dropdown menu, could you expand the 'for sale' entry please ?

    I tested konqueror 3.1.2 earlier and the menus were a little slow to appear on first try a few times, but overall it was usable. (as in, mouse over the link, nothing happens, mouse off then on again and it would generally work).

    Maybe we need to tweak some of our settings. Currently:

    _menuCloseDelay=500 // The time delay for menus to remain visible on mouse out
    _menuOpenDelay=0 // The time delay before menus open on mouse over
    _followSpeed=5 // Follow scrolling speed
    _followRate=40 // Follow scrolling Rate
    _subOffsetTop=10 // Sub menu top offset
    _subOffsetLeft=-10 // Sub menu left offset
    _scrollAmount=3 // Only needed for Netscape 4.x
    _scrollDelay=20 // Only needed for Netcsape 4.x

    I like the new arrows, much better than the black ones. :)

    Some of the menus aren't expanding when the mouse runs over them (under Community and Arts they do, but under Sci/Tech they don't & Education doesn't expand under Society)



    Logged in: yes
    Browser: Opera 7.21 and IE6 (works on neither)
    Skin: smallville (but doesn't work from the front page either)
    OS: win2k
    example menu: run the mouse over Science under Sci/Tech


    Just FYI and all that

    the menus wont seem to appear on the left if there is no room on the right. put your screen res up to 1280x1076 and its fine though.

    Getting the same using Firebird and the subbed menu moves when I scroll the middle mouse down

    See attached picture.

    The menus now seem to be immune to shift+ctrl+click to open in a background window in Opera (7.11 - note to self - install new release) :(
