Well I took the "New to FreeBSD?" link away for now (well...I moved it to the drop-down menu of "About" section where it is listed as "Introduction"). As we had several requests to create a Donation link with a more prominent placement, I believe it is now better than what we had before. The latest proposal can be found at http://people.freebsd.org/~danger/FreeBSD/ Now all the sub-pages should have the same new drop-drown menu. I have tested it with several browsers and the results are following: IE6 - drop down does not work, bullets are not displayed. Besides that the page looks okay IE7+, Firefox 3.0+, Chrome - works fine (dropdown menu as well as bullets) Opera - dropdown menu works but the bullets are not displayed. Not a big deal. -- S pozdravom / Best regards Daniel Gerzo, FreeBSD committer
