Hello, I'm new to the site and didn't know how the buttons to the right of my username, on the top right of the page, operated. As I hovered over them to check their URLs, nothing displayed on the bottom left of chrome like it usually shows for links. So I thought maybe they were Javascript bound buttons.
But then I clicked and to my surprise they're dropdowns.
I know this is quite nitpicky, but good design will keep the user focused on the site's content, and not on figuring it out.
I also like it more as a dropdown, I tend to find on-hover navigation somewhat annoying.
Optimally, I want to have a navigation that's always visible (just like it is now) and have dropdown options that are immediately obvious (and not those stupid mobile-ish menu symbols that consist of three horizontal lines on top of each other).
Nah, it's worth giving feedback to it, even if there's a new one in development. That way, those working on it can see what is popular and what isn't and adjust accordingly.
