New Menu

Hey...I'm sure the new menu loads faster and has less pages...but Honestly the older version was easier to navigate in. Maybe its just me...i dunno.

Please wait until it's somewhere close to being finished to pass judgment on it. Right now everything's under construction. Eventually every page will have the menu at the top, so you won't have to go back to "Home" to enter another version's area ... it'll all be at your fingertips. There are several other advantages to it that aren't easily seen yet.

This will provide quicker access to the pages you want to see, plus give better visibility for pages that people weren't finding ... Rules, Point System, Donations, Photo Gallery, etc.

I'm trying to figure out what the negativity is about. I understand the motto "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", but I do need to try to reduce my bandwidth (a record-shattering 1.7gb this month, my limit is 2gb per month). And I think that once this menu system is completed, everyone will like it well enough.

Maybe the new menu seems to crowded to you. Maybe you are more comfortable being in a version's area where all the links JUST for that game are visible. Or maybe it's just about fighting change in general. Regardless, this change is a NECESSARY growing pain for the site, and like many other changes over the past two years, hopefully you'll eventually wonder how you ever got by without it.

He e-mailed me a translation of it, but it was a typically bad software translation. Thanks for the translation, Antoine!! Translation, translation, translation ...
