Putting the main navigation menu next to advertiser content seems a bit rude.
Putting the pop-up menus over that advertiser content makes it worse.
You understand that's been the site's colours since 2000, right? It's a little late to be complaining about the colour scheme! It was presumably that colour when you got here in 2003. Why wait nine years to bring it up?Black/dark grey/white is harder to read than necessary
I'm not trying to be disagreeable - but the previous menu said "Settings", too. We've used "Settings" in menus here now for a period of time measured in years. This particular thing isn't a change!
I could prove it by switching back to the menu you've been using for the last few years up until this week. That one says "Settings", too!
That seems to average out to me! Those complaints, to my mind, cancel each other out. But still, there is no attempt on my part to be rude to you (there might be a mild attempt to be erotic to you, though - is it working?)
The header size has been a major and repeated complaint for years. Folks with lower-res browsers saw nothing but header. That extra inch to you is a world of difference to many other users. This may be part of the eroticism I mentioned earlier.
Hey, I have a ginormous monitor and view the site at very high res. I struggle to understand when people complain about real estate on a screen which looks wide, empty, desolate, and spread-out to me. I have to remember that not everybody views the site on my computer.

3a: Also not 100% on why the menu (or the ad for that matter) are justified to the right and not centered or placed, statically, immediately next to the E.N. World logo. I don't see the benefit of that and personally think you would want the menu front and center at all times as opposed to floating around.
