    Whenever I go to a sub level of the menu, I have to play a game of tentativity with my mouse. I feel like I'm playing that game with a long stretch of twangled, twisty metal wire that's hooked up to a battery and a buzzer. You have a metal hoop and you have to traverse the wire's journey without touching it or it will go *bzzzt*.

    Ahem, anyway... If my mouse passes the portion eg. Sport or motors - my sub level menu will disappear really quickly. I see that there is a slight lag on the first menu eg. afterhours, so that when you move off the menu it holds for half a second.

    What I'm getting at is.. is it possible to put a small delay onto the second heirarchy menu to give my mouse a chance to get to the Star Wars cheese?

    either that or make a small buzzer sound whenever the wrong choice is selected, whichever is easier :)

    ... oh and ... Mac users if you want to do that too...

    Click to the right of the *link* where it says Sci fi/fantasy dont click the link but stay in the small box and *click* and move right and to the sub menu.

    Given that I tend to click with the mouse at the top of an item, moving right actually moves my mouse to slightly above the pop-up menu, which means that it disappears again.

    It is fiddly.....

    I would suggest that the first item of the sub-menu be parallel to the "lead-out" item, rather than 3/4 of a line below it....
