New Posts drop down menu is bad
Its an interesting idea to have the drop down menu containing all those extra options. Unfortunately due to the error of the add overlapping the menu on occasion, it becomes more of a hassle than anything. I would suggest seeing how popular others find it before deciding on whether or not to keep it. Personally I'd say if the ad overlap issue can be fixed then it wouldn't matter.

Yup - the banner ads display over the drop down menu making it a guess as to what you are clicking.

Banner ads don't display over the drop down menu, but I personally don't like the drop down menu anyways. I'd rather not have two clicks to get to new posts when I'd probably never click those other options. Just my two cents.

Yep same here. but I noticed today that it's not consistent. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't.

Yep. Bad. FireFox, IE, Opera, NS - all have the banner error, even on different machines (we have 5 here, 6 if you count the car).

Issue only happens on the flash type banners...like Synaptic. The regular ones are OK.....I just hit refresh to get a different banner, and it works.

I would prefer the one click new post button as well

works fine for me for two reasons:

1. I bookmark the new posts link, so I never have to click it.

2. adblock plus on firefox.

So I guess you're not generating too much ad revenue for this site huh?

It's doubtful those little green links are providing any real "revenues" for the site. But I have noticed more non-automotive ads up top lately.

I think the drop down menu is fine. Safari here, and I have only experienced the bug once - not complaining about it though.
