I don't like this switch to mouseover. Remember there are people who can't use a mouse or other pointing device, and are dependant on their keyboard. How are they supposed to access the menus?

And my own issue, which doesn't seem to have been covered already, based on a search of this thread;

Type: Bug
Issue: The 'follow thread' button at the bottom of each page brings up a dialog box. The default subscription type in this dialog box does not reflect the user's preferred default subscription. My default subscription is 'no notification' but this dialog defaults to 'instant notification'. Can this be changed to use the default user preference for subscriptions?
Browser & OS: Chrome on Win XP
Screen Resolution: n/a

Any feedback to these comments, Danny?

For me, and this is just a personal thing, I can't stand menus that pop out when you pass over them and I don't like opaque anything including bars on web pages. Apart from that the fonts and colours etc are all very nice.

Browser & OS: Chromium on Windows 7 x64.
Resolution: 1920x1080

I can give you feedback on them both - excuse any perceived brevity, we're short on time now and still working hard on the issues raised

On the issue with the follow popup - nothing new on this. It behaves in exactly the same way as the follow forum/thread popup always did. As such, I'd see this as a completely separate feature request and one that won't be dealt with right now - drop us a line over in Site Development to keep in on the radar, it is a good improvement

On the second point about the change to mouseover, I'm unsure what you're specifically speaking about. The main nav/menu has always been hover-activated, I'm not aware of a menu on any skin that allows for keyboard-based navigation. If anything I'd be of the opinion the new site is possibly better for navigating via a keyboard thanks to the omnibox which makes finding a forum a breeze - ALT+SHIFT+F for focus.
