I investigated the issue with Opera displaying the ad over the dropdown menus, and as far as i can tell there is not a solution. Opera follows the standard (the standard is out of date, in my opinion, as well as microsoft's opinion and the mozilla peoples opinion as well), which says that iframes are displayed over everything else.

Well, those people will have to be clicking the buttons instead of using dropdowns... Unless we can come up with some universal solution.

there is no solution, unless opera updates its browser.

Uhm...like that's going to happen. We should not bother with Opera but rather concentrate to make things work as they should with Firefox since its the current browser of choice next to IE. Firefox already claimed 10% of all of our visits.

Firefox works fine with your site, to the best of my knowledge. I use it on both Windows and Linux, and it has never given me any problems. Unless I am unaware of something, it seems that this site has no discrepencies when used by Firefox.

check out our site with IE. The file archives are much easier to access - when you mouseover one of the buttons at the top (Games, Programs, Projects, Misc, Site) a dropdown menu appears with links. Doesn't work in firefox.

Hmm. Didn't notice that. Oh well, its a minor thing that I became accustomed to. I don't think that matters. It's pretty cool, but my primary platform is linux, so I can't use IE anyway. There might be some sort of extension to Firefox that might fix this...

Well, I guess that's what I get for using a standards compliant browser.

We're working on getting menus to work in a cross browser environment. Yes, we didn't bother before but now seeing how much FF percentile of users grew, it's something worth doing. We'll of course let everyone know when this is done or you'll notice yourself.
