I also don't like the collection of drop-downs. While I kindof like the idea of the radio group to select a country site I think that the users not having to do anything to select the country would be much better. Can't the URL's just be relative to the index page so that whenever a user clicks on them they just go to the same locale? Also, in the United States at least the general design has the primary navigation links on the left side of the page, the center to be the major article headers with summaries and the right side to be minor article headers. The links on the right side of the page should really be on the left side. rjsjr > -----Original Message----- > From: pgsql-general-owner@postgresql.org > [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@postgresql.org]On Behalf Of Darren Ferguson > Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 4:12 PM > To: Devrim GUNDUZ > Cc: PostgreSQL Mailing Lists-General > Subject: Re: [GENERAL] PostgreSQL.org : A new website design offer > > > On Tue, 18 Jun 2002, Devrim GUNDUZ wrote: > > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > A few of us have been working on a new look and feel for the main > > www.postgresql.org page.
