I am adapted to reading horizontally and left to right. Can you make the front page links in upper right horizontal instead of vertical?

And using the horizontal bar for forum navigation is twitchy. I have to concentrate to select the right vertical space or otherwise I slide over and select some other main topic. That's truly annoying. Can you make it less twitchy pls?

Thank you for considering this request.

They won't change it because apparently it's about "branding", regardless of whether a) it's legible b) functional or c) adds to the user experience.

I like it just the way it is. I wish the forums had the look & feel of the newly designed front page.

I'm confused about what this means. Which horizontal bar are you referring to?

EDIT:

OK, I see what you're talking about. You don't need to use that for forum navigation, though the twitchiness should be fixed. In "MacNN ToolBox" (the little box on the right bar of the page), there's one of the usual "ForumJump" popup menus that lets you directly jump to whatever forum you want.

EDIT AGAIN:
