Thanks, John - First, the 'mega-menu' usage for us is only up in that very top-area of links on the pages, e.g., "Shop" or "North America ". For the main/global navigation (red), we're just using short link lists as drop-downs. I will keep the 'mega' option on the table longer-term as I push to re-approach how we're organizing and allowing access to information.
And yes, you're correct about us not showing an active state: something that was either overlooked or deliberately done (this project was well underway before I came on board). I've also noted to my team that the 'tabs' themselves are not functionally clickable; that is, you can click, but you no go nowheere :( (VP says he likes it this way to 'force the user' to find a quicker path to destination... don't get me started.) I completely agree with the red issue, and we're slowly changing that to a soft blue as we launch updates/new projects. So, thanks for the input! It really helps me to feel I'm not alone in much of my thinking. I may have said earlier that I'm the sole UI/UX/IA/IxD person on our global web team. :-/ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
