Actually. yes. I would like to see it trialled for several days.

Seems the display space would be a good bit larger with the new option.

You mean there are menus? I usually just go right to the forums.

Outside of what I feel are the navigation benefits, it does make it easier for us to maintain the menu, and it should make it easier for those trying to search through the site with Google (if someone wants to search the whole site, not just the forums)

Doesn't really matter to me-if the top down makes it easier that is fine. But the German GP?? Heck this is Tour de France time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I've never posted here - until now that is - I do spend a fair bit opf time lurking and searching the 928 section. I think it would be a BIG help search-wise to have some Boolean logic available in the advanced search. ie. And & Or functions.

If you add the top menu you'll just clutter the screen and slow things down. Say NO to menus!

Ditto..

I like the left-side menu. As I'm reading through threads, I don't want to have to scroll back up to the top of the page to return or navigate to any given forum. And I don't want to keep clicking my web browser's "back" arrow to get back to the main forum page.

With the left-side menu, one click does the trick!

anything to make Rennlist friendlier to small screen users would be good, otherwise you'll have to develop Rennlist Mobile...

thanks,

Honestly, I think you'd be better off spending your time integrating it into www.rennlist.com directly. The main home page offers no information or even relevant links. There are then a lot of links when you, "click here," but I still (nearly 2 years after joining) don't fully know what they all do or why I'd go to one classifieds area versus another, etc. That said, the forums are wonderful, and I greatly appreciate what you've done. I would have said nothing if you hadn't asked. Thanks.

I like the frames on the left when I'm on a PC, but they don't work well with my iPod Touch / iPhone. Rather have the drop down menues that work across platforms.
