This morning, we introduced new changes to Criticker’s navigation scheme. So far, there haven’t been too many exasperated emails demanding that we change it back, so… I think that counts a success!

Here are some of the highlights:

1. Live Updating # Films – When you rank a new film, or delete a ranking, the number of rankings is automatically updated.
2. Forum/Blog Highlights – We’ve replaced the (ugly) link bubbles with the latest topics being discussed at the blog and forums.
3. Improved Submenu – Drop down menus is so 2008! Criticker is so 2010! The new menu layout is a huge step up… the options stay active even when not hovered upon, and don’t get in the way of other content.
4. Overall Style – Cleaner and sleeker. This is the first of many stylistic improvements we plan on making in the new year — others will be less noticeable, but we’re going to be constantly making changes to improve the way Criticker feels and works.
