They've added this huge banner that stays on as you scroll down, so if you click on the sidebar instead of just scrolling you have to scroll back up to continue reading their press pieces.  Really inconvenient.  Another example of techies thinking only of style and not substance.  I've complained to them.  Anybody else feel the same way?

Definitely not as user friendly as it was.  When you put your cursor over one of the top tabs, you can't then drag it down to the sub categories unless you hold down the left button on your mouse.

Yea, I sent them feedback already on that.

It is ANNOYING and difficult to navigate the site when you are viewing the site in a non-fullsized window. I tend to use a smaller window to browse in(especially at work) and I can't see much at ALL with that banner stuck at the top.

I get the complaints about the top being stuck there, I'm of two minds on that one, but the drop-down menu requiring a click or having trouble is a major issue (and one I don't have).  What OS/Browser are you using where you have to click to get a menu?

I've got no problem with it. I don't have any issue with the menus. All of them work well for me. And I don't mind that the menu stays at the top. It makes it a bit easier to navigate in my perspective. It doesn't take up a ton of space, but I guess I could see how it might be a lot of if you're using a small screen of some kind.

Yeah I figured this one out too. When I tried to look at the website at work I couldn't do the scroll down without the clicking of the mouse because our systems are old. But my laptop at home has the latest version of Internet Explorer and I don't have this problem.

It was a necessary change, compared to other athletics websites, ours was very outdated and looked plain.

Right click, hold and drag your cursor and that should do the trick.  Has been working for me.

Yeah I don't find it overly large either, but I can see where a smaller or lower res screen would have issues.  Might be nice to have some button that would give the option of collapsing it down to just the bar (blow out the images) in the interest of space-saving.

Works really well on mobile devices.On the IPad it holds down the dropdowns automatically.

The real question is what does Ryan Carey think.

I don't have a problem with the menu as it's worked fine for me and looks good.

The non scrolling header is a pain when you have the window size not maximized....especially when I'm trying to watch one of the videos on the homepage at work in a small window!  I agree with the other comment, a little button to allow it to scroll would be nice.
