On the other hand, I'm not quite sure how any experienced user could prefer the short menu over the long one.


For me, anyways, I've used it so long it's second nature now.

Long menu!

Count me as part of the vast majority!

I think I wrote up a vast opinion on the menu issue somewhere in the first thread of comments to the new site. To the BB developers' credit, they heard that many people liked the long menu and made sure to keep it, and to allow this to be saved as a preference so that we don't have to click on the Long menu every time we log in.

And not that I think this will change things, but I agree with the notion that the Long Menu should probably be the default so that new users can see all of the pages they can go to in one shot, and that it really does take an experienced user to navigate the short menu since that who already knows what pages they want to navigate to even though the page link doesn't show up on the short menu. But I respect everyone's opinion on this.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

I prefer the long menu as well. I have tried both but the long menu in my opinion is easier to navigate.

I love both menus equally. I open two pages and have one with the long, cascading menu full of every place I want to go at a single click, saving me valuable fractions of seconds in my regimented 21st century life and one with the concise austere beauty of the short menu with its compartmentalized logic guiding my hand in this all-too-cluttered world.

Do you really think I'd expect you guys to deal with the GM job if you couldn't?

I use long menu.

Short menu + 5 custome links would be awesome (Transfers, Players, Bids, Schedule, Economy)

i can settle this debate quite easily.

29K users have the long menu by default
20K users have the short menu by default

however when you look at users who signed up in the last 3 months, its

10K for the short menu
5K for the long menu

There is a lot of possible interpretations of this data, but I think the most conservative one is that the community is split on the subject, with older users tending to favor the long menu, and newer users favoring the shorter menu. I'll leave you all to debate why this is and what it says about our deeper human nature.
