Thanks. First of all I really appreciate all the work done to have a common header for all the various GNOME sites. But I still want to have something simpler for Bugzilla. Ideally I want all the GNOME subsites links to be 'hidden'. I can understand that it can be useful when just browsing all the sites, but I believe too many non-site specific links are bad. We did receive complaints about the previous b.g.o layout that it had too many links. The links are on the exact place where I'd want the 'new bug', 'search', etc links. I can understand this being useful on a website, but I see Bugzilla as different. It is an application with a webinterface. Switching from Bugzilla to another GNOME site is not something I do often (well.. maybe a planet GNOME links ;). I can understand a random person (user) being redirected to a random bug might like such links, but I think those are in the minority. It is far more useful to add links about the product (homepage, specific support site, latest releases, etc). What I was thinking about was a list using <ul> and <li> that is transformed into a menu using css. Then the GNOME part could be under a 'GNOME' text / 'support' link. Or maybe a 'Support' -> 'Bugzilla' (where Bugzilla is the same as the existing Bugzilla white text in the header). But the menu conflicts with me hating menus where the top one is clickable. One example: * GNOME (maybe some other name) * New bug * Search * etc (the header is dynamic.. depending on your access you will see more options) But I hate it when 'GNOME' would have a menu and 'New bug' not. Is bad for usability (IMO). So I do not have a good suggestion. Again I can understand the header for the GNOME websites and thanks for the work. Noticed that in the exampled the links are not underlined. Personally I hate it when links are underlined and I have changed my browser preference. However, I've always wondered if this should be changed using a style sheet (meaning: accessibility). Will it cause a problem with accessibility? PS: I missed most of the discussion that came before..
