>>OK, how can I make all menus and toolbars normal.
>>I hate this new upper case style MS try to make as standard.

>Dragan's message #1645944 is actually basically what it is all about. As it evolved over the years, the site remains, for its main layout structure, basically what it has always been. It benefited of additional changes as this is simply what life is all about, so are Web sites. This is one of the oldest site of the planet, so, yes, it had to start somewhere and move forward. If you would take a younger site, you would probably not had seen much as the duration of the entity itself would have been much lower.

>Having said that, here are facts that a lot might not have seen by now:
>
>1. The upper top position of the NEW menu, the menu for the forum interface, is exactly starting at the same pixel as it was before
>2. The impression that the forum menu might have gone below is simply an illusion because the first menu has been moved inside the blue area, where before it was in the white area
>3. The blue area is bigger, but it includes the first menu, as before, the site menu was occupying space inside the white area
>4. The above point makes it easier to difference the NEW menu to be for the forum interface as oppose to the first one
>5. The actual interface is, actually, bigger in height, as it has 10 additional pixels as oppose to before
>6. The left side is having 125 pixels in width for the default, 25 more than before, which is what most had before (the default 100-pixel width), so it is better for reading and more into the lines of the right side, as far as the default width goes
>7. The right side is fully customizable, so everything can be removed or added to it
>8. Site menu is only one menu now as oppose to two before
>9. Site menu, which includes REPORTING, was actually before Conference Coverages, Photos and Videos, so it is simpler now and takes less space
>10. Site menu is available as is, either inside or outside the forum area, so the fact that someone was not able to find site menu options from the forum area, is now resolved
>11. When inside the forum area, Site menu becomes tied to your account, so intelligent counters will apply on some of those items, so a user group meeting annoncements, for example, will be easier to find than before (upcoming support in January)
>12. Forum menu has one less item, for now, so it became simpler
>13. Only 13 persons were still using the old interface until yesterday and it was mostly related about the right side, where now, it can appear exactly as before, if one would wish to
>14. Comments about Site menu or forum menu too small, should be better now, as well as site content itself where we adapted this new look that everyone is pretty much using now
>
>We also invite everyone to read our announcement yesterday, not only for our annual greeting wishes for the new year, but also as it includes some items which would gear the site back or to more towards close to exclusive technical content any days now.
>
>In overall, one of the objectives of sites which have been running for so long, is to continue to move forward with adjustments, where those would make things simpler, easier to find, but at the same time provide more power, flexibility and evolution. That is actually a challenge on its own. So, of course, we have interesting things coming up in 2017. More announcements will follow.

>Thank you for your feedback

The problem is your logo (UT). It takes SO MUCH space that could be used for message tree. Could you make this logo disappear?
