I just have to say, as much as I love the new layout, these damn drop down menus just drive me fething nuts! Ill mouse over them, and poof its down, bitch part is, most the time they just STAY down until I either post or goto a new thread or forum. Cant those be fixed to drop down...only when you click them? Because really, its just making me want to murder my monitor

They vanish after 2 seconds - if that is not happening, what browser are you using?

They still need some tweaks, but it is a slow process to test and alter them for a few complex reasons.

The instant appear on mouseover is to reduce the amount of time and effort it takes to get to your lists of threads;

At work, they vanish after 2 seconds. IE on Windows XP Professional 5.1

At home, they "get stuck" all of the time. I have to navigate to another page for them to disappear. Firefox (latest) on Windows 7.

They get stuck on chrome too, also using windows 7.

This doesn't happen to me, but the drop-downs seem to move. Take a look at screen shot.

Hey lookie there! Its me!


But in all seriousness, I use Chrome on windows XP. And since I brought it up, it doesnt happen everytime it seems like. But randomly, if I move the mouse while typing for whatever reason, and it passes over the drop downs, oh yea, those babies are stuck open till I either submit or navigate away from there. It doesnt really hamper with the site, but its damn annoying

So am I, and I haven't had this issue.

Although on a side-note, I did just notice that if you click on the menu header, the pop-up menu shifts very slightly up and to the left. If you keep clicking on it, it slowly crawls up the page...

Also using my mobile phone's browser they don't work at all. I use the latest version of android.

Yea I noticed that too SEE!!! DAKKAs first game was born!

If you time it right you get two of the same drop down menus at once.

I also use chrome and it is seemingly random for me. It's been sort of stuck once or twice, every other time it has worked fine.
