Works fine. I'd initially checked "no" on the survey because the new menu page opened in a popunder window, so I didn't see it until I closed down the window I was in.

khanom, would you mock up a navigation structure for RC.com? Feel free to post it here, start a new thread, or PM/email me.

I'm also using Safari (Safari v 1.0 on Mac OS X 10.2.6) and it works fine for me. Are you sure everything is up to date?
It also works in Camino on OS X (v 0.7)
Holy cow! It even works in Explorer 5.2 on Mac OS X! That's rare.
Very cool too...
several clicks later...
you're kidding me - it's free???
Please excuse me while I do some downloading.

Well, yes, it EXPANDS correctly, but sometimes the minus sign (-) graphic disappeared on some of the branches while I was trying to collapse the menu.

I'm in the "don't like dynamic menus camp."
First, I don't like them (pretty obnoxious). Second, I have an old computer at home (with old software) and I don't like continually being forced to upgrade with new versions of software. It's a pain to download and install new browsers (over a slow/unreliable phone connection) and my old computer is a "resource limited" machine.

I have been doing web design for over five years, and I know how difficult it is to cover all the browsers. Unfortunatly dozens of different browsers exist.
I believe this a javascript menu, so you have to be careful. Just because a browser supports javascript (and the menu) that doesn't mean it will display the menu. The user has to have javascript "turned on". Many users still worry about security, so they do not turn it on.
With that said, you can't please everyone all the time.
If you are looking for a more standard approach, you could use DHTML, CSS, or Flash. The latest browsers support these, and you shouldn't have a problem.
Thats my two cents.

Cover all the browsers? Not possible, and it's a complete waste of time too.
I know everyone means well, but you're getting a poor cross-section of your user base here. Any time I've done this type of exercise (and that's a lot of times), I've got the same results as you're getting here - most of those who respond are the sort of spanners who run opera 1.0 on mac OS 8 and then say it's unfair to make them upgrade. These are not the prevalent demographic. Anyone who knows even the basics of designing for the web knows that IE5 on PC is the most common system by a long way. Those users just stay quiet is all.
The menu looks great, a first pass through the syntax checker in my studio says the compatibility should be better than average - some 4+, most 5+ and all 6+. Looks good, easy to use, in your position I would only think twice if it looked like it could be tricky to implement.
And for what it's worth, you've been a lot more patient with the whiners than I would have been! :)

i agree.
and I think it has the potential to really simplify the huge left column bar. That way you only have to look at things you really care about.
Although I hate that the users tab changes from the main page to other pages.

I don't find the left panel cumbersome. I like being able to just click on what I want instead of having to navigate menus. I blow enough of my employers time on this site as it is. He'd appreciate my ability to click on what I want directly.
If you want only to look at things you care about, make the panel customizable. In the user's profile, allow them to select what sections they want. Heck while you're there, allow them to customize the order also. Not terribly difficult to script It would require extra cpu cycles though.
While we're adding options for the users, give us the option of disabling the 'target' attribute of links shown in forum posts. It's a pain having a new window popup.

While I''m bitchin', here's something else. On the main page, in the top left corner, it says "Hello, Michael" (or thereabouts), while in the forums, it says "Hello, bluelip".
Is this a feature? :wink:
