This is true, I don't like it when things stray away from what I expect or
jump at me. However, now that IE7 supports it, I believe more and more
people will start to use it and so users will become more accustomed to it.
Whether it annoys them or not is another matter. If used properly, I do
think it has its benefits.

This is the URL: http://127.0.0.1/G/melbourne/1/
Please look at it in either Firefox or Opera 9 - it's buggy in everything
else since it's just an experiment for now, my CSS playpen so to speak.

You should be able to see something saying "NEXT" vertically at the bottom
right. There is also a 'PREV' one on the left if you set the number of
thumbs to something smaller (hover over 'settings'). Anyway, this tab has
position:fixed and is positioned relative to the bottom right.

If the viewport is big enough (such as when the thumbs are all on one line),
it appears below the cream-coloured area and into the grey bit, which is
unsightly. Ideally, I would position it from either the bottom of the cream
area or from the top of the thumbs' container (ul#thumbarray). And it stays
there upon scrolling. Just like in PPK's site.

I'm interested in your opinions. Cheers,

Rafael
