Looking for feedback on a new, upcoming top navigation bar...
Hey everyone,
There's a lot of things we want to do to improve the site and one of the areas we haven't been very happy with for a while is the top navigation bar. If your screen is wide enough, you would actually see 17(!) tabs. It's a bit messy to say the least so we've been working on an update that we'd like to test and roll out in the next few weeks. We think it should help provide a more fluid and cleaner navigation experience and allow you to get to more of the sections and deal info faster. Here's a preview:

We've grouped a lot of the tabs together and provided more options in the mouseover menu so that you can drill down deeper with one click. At some point in the future, we think we can probably remove the categories in the left sidebar as well so that's the direction we're going, but one step at a time...
So what does everyone think? We're looking for some feedback right now so post it here. As we roll out this feature you will have an opportunity to test it out or change back to the existing navigation bar if you prefer. We will also have a survey to help track and monitor the results so please provide your feedback!
We've got a lot on the go right now so hopefully we'll be rolling out more tools and features in the future to make it easier and more fun to use the site.
