Web page where you get 100 links are useless. I think one can find a good compromise between the new "portal-like" site and the old one. I don't like an upper navigation bar, simply because every thing on a computer screen just work like that (your browser have all its control on the top, most desktop have a task bar on the bottom of screen and/or a menu on the top) and the available vertical space for the real content is very short. Having a side-bar was a fine way to manage this space ... Another point on the design : this web-site looks like other "vertically centered and lost in the middle of my huge monitor" web-site that you find on the web, again, monitor are wider than taller, why restrain horizontal space ? But, this is a bike-shed discussion ... > So what? No cookie, page still loads hence no bother. The real question is : why the site needs cookies ? --=20 Burelle Marwan, Equipe Bases de Donnees - LRI http://www.cduce.org (burelle@lri.fr | Marwan.Burelle@ens.fr) --Dx9iWuMxHO1cCoFc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDRUBeI+2UvUKfgvgRAs9MAJ9MMlPpGQ+mXqxMw3cZVIHHdugtsACgg8sf 8MKkzbrNns/NgNdfQi0TClI= =RADh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Dx9iWuMxHO1cCoFc--
