Score!

But in answer to the original question, i guess its simplicty vs. appearance...

They look better, but the delay between mouseover and menu display is annoying (well, to anyone who drinks as much coffee as me)

My bad, thats only when you first load the page. Yerh, they are better then.

>> simplicty vs. appearance...

Actually this sort of menu combines simplicity and appearance. It makes every major part of the site available at one click -- a lot of that is not possible with the simpler two level navigation we have right now.

Funny you should say that, i was just thinking about the 'Three-Click Rule"

3 Click rule is pretty much overrated ... this is more of an exercise to use the real estate on the screen more efficiently and also ... improve navigation a little bit.

KIA,
On the side note, is it only me who finds things are getting much slower after servers moved to US?? It takes almost 3-4 sec to open a trhead..

[KnowItAll]

Should not take 3 to 4 seconds .... 2 at the most from any decent broadband connection.

If you can, open a command prompt in XP and type "tracert www.geoexpat.com" in it and copy / paste the output into an email and send it to feedback@geoexpat.com

On the main topic, Though overall appearance is not much different than geoexpa, personaly i find devlib.org style should really improve navigation..

LM,
It doesnt seem to have delay between mouseover and menu display.. Your are rite, its just first time when the site is being loaded..

KIA,
Whats this tracert doing? I tried and its trying to trace the route over maximum 30 hops and everytime reqeust timed out.. is it something blocked on my side??

[KnowItAll]

Send it to me ... yeah, might mean you are or we are dropping packets somewhere along the line.

[KnowItAll]

In place...
