Vote For A New Menu
Here it is, we’ve finally got both the candidates for the new menu design ready for you to vote on. The polling box is on the right hand side of the page. One entry is courtesy of myself, the other is from ReptilianSamurai. I’ll pretend that those of you who haven’t been following the design don’t know which one is mine.
The images below show how they should look on your machine, the HTML samples below show how they will look. Let me know if there are any differences. Note - the html pages link to the current menu-less versions - all of the code to decide what menu options to display on each page isn’t live yet.
[Edit: Removed HTML samples now that we the poll is over 10/05/06 ]

Gerson,
I liked both menues very much but neither one worked when I tried to make a caption. Oh, wait…they were just examples weren’t they? They weren’t supposed to work. Never mind.
Keep up the good work. You are way too good to us. New menues…getting to vote on them and the like. You’ll turn us all into spoiled brats, not that we aren’t already.

I like #1, personally. But in the end you should really go with what you like best.
But I cast a vote for #1… did I win?

The reason I prefer #2 (ha ha I said number two) is because it seems like there would be less scrolling with the menu bar to see the bottom of the screen. perhaps #2 takes up less space?

[...] As you might have noticed, we’ve got a winner in the menu contest - ReptilianSamurai’s design handily beat mine by more than a 2 to 1 margin (16 to 7 to be exact). Congrats to RS and thanks to all who voted. For those of you partial to way the old links would keep the different images and gallery pages in your history, use the old text links that have stayed just where they are right above and below the screengrabs. Actually, I’ve even added them to all the other pages on IS. [...]
