I think if you fix the layering then it should be fine. Just add a CSS style to the tag with a z-index. It has been a few years, so I may be way off.

DAMN! the banner finally got me. I just thought it was a pain to wait on the drop down (though I like some of those options) but now I see what you guys have been complaining about.

I have been having the banner issue all morning. I also don't really need the drop down menu. I can live with it, but it is annoying when the banner overlays it.

Would someone PLEASE fix that stupid Synaptic ad?
I get that one on every other page and it makes it impossible to hit the "new threads" button!

You see the bug is a revenue generator...its all a big conspiracy man! Due to the bug your having to either refresh the page or click to another page generating another view...sometimes you accidentally click on the ad instead of the intended place generating another view...

its a conspiracy! everyone man your tinfoil hats!!

Coming from you, I'll take the compliment because you have had some real classics!

I agree to the level of suckage that the new posts drop down possesses.

+1 on the problem with the Synaptic ad. Is that something they have to fix?

I vote for 1-click for New Posts.

"New Posts" on the menu is redundant, a duplicate of the initial click.

"Today's Posts" is a duplicate of the one on the "Quick Links" menu.

"Find My Posts" and Find My Threads" seems as though they would be better located under "Search". It's not intuitive that they would be under a "New Posts" menu. Or put them under "Quick LInks" to minimize the number of menus needed to look through.

Seriously, the layering needs to change. If you do that, it will make life easier for the IE folks.

If they won't fix literally one character to fix the banner alignment I wouldn't hold out too much hope for any other IE-centric fixes.

The New Posts Drop Down Menu is AWESOME - so far, easily the best change this forum has made.
