Dr. Bob--
I hope you'll decide to implement Jane's excellent ideas, to wit:
--separate the boards from the non-board links (*very* helpful, IMHO)
--keep the link positions static; just highlight the current page name in a different, brighter color (one not used elsewhere, like bright red or neon green) It's easy, at least for me, to forget which board I'm on, now that there are so many.
--keep link names intact (easy to do if positions are static!)
--ditch the directional arrows (No one cares what order the board and non-board links are in, so long as the categories are separate and the positions don't change. I'd be willing to bet that the arrows are *never* clicked on.)
Btw, I really like your practice of trying out new boards and letting the amount of "traffic" determine their fate. As strongly as I supported an Old Timers board, I'd have no quarrel with a decision to d/c it if posting isn't sustained.
Thanks much for the 2 newest boards (Tx and Faith). I read and have/will post on both (each?).---medlib
