Message: <blockquote data-quote="Grraf" data-source="post: 274571" data-attributes="member: 3791">not another resizer...Hmm. A lot of people post without bothering to read (it's a bad habit of mine to from time to time. Of course if you're reading this then you probably already got that)dropdown 2 looks very good.I have a lower bandwith connection and thre thoughts/requests:1. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T RESIZE. A number of sites have started either focing auto-reload periodically or reloading the whole page every single time you adjust the size of the window.[it may be that this resizing is somehow nessessary but I've seen some pretty complex sites that do take a second to change themselves after you've changed the window size but without actually forcing a whole new reload.][also I'll sometimes click through to a banner after I'm done reading. I went to Oathbound that way, for example. If the ad keeps changing I think the odds of that are a bit less. Though I suppose you can tell advertisers that they'll be getting "more exposure" with the new enforced downloading thing.]2. I think people should be able to get to what they want with a minimal amount of clicking. I would be thrilled if you remembered that a. downloading pure text (i.e. news bits) requires about no bandwith.b. pictures (especially your banner ads) download slowly. forcing people to load them over and over again is kinda a pain in the butt.3. Many readers don't check daily. You occasionally update a page twice in one day. Put the last five days of news up.Forcing people to click through to get data (ala Mistwell) is pretty irritating and unessessary. You already seem to have a good sense of what's important enough that everybody see it (today's comments from Ryan D. for example) and what deserves a blurb and a link.I've also seen the "jamming" issue on dropdown2's menus (mentioned above). I'm sure it can be corrected, maybe an enWorlder with some html could glance at the source?Tabs are useful when (like hotmail or amazon) you have a limited number of choices. In the name of not having to navigate through lots and lots of pages to get what you want I think the current way is best. Plus enWorld servers don't have to feed you all that data and grafics you don't need.Last comment: Put reviews somewhere with the world reviews. Calling it the D20 system guild is pretty confusing. I always putz around for a while before remembering that that's what its called. Especially since there are a WotC products in there. They aren't D20 products.... they're D&D as are certain other products like Kenzer and co.cheers</blockquote>
