The new menu system is an excellent addition!

As for IE6, the menu tested okay for me on IE6 SP2. With SP1, the menus were accessible, but the expanding feature was limited. Not a big issue, in my opinion.

All else is functioning just fine for me.

Thanks for continuing to enhance your fine product!

Love it! This is an awesome feature that I will be able to put to good use.

As for IE6, use browser detection and redirection. If it detects IE6, then redirect them to a page that gives them 3 options -

1. Upgrade your IE to 7 but not 8 because 8 is buggy

2. Get Firefox

3. Get Chrome

Oh how I loathe having to always have to do things 2, 3, or 4 times just to make different versions of IE happy.

Ok - I know that's not practical but one can dream... [;)]

I've just sent beta 2 out to all the beta testers. This should be the final beta before we release.

Here's what's fixed since beta 1:
- Fixed issue where menu would sometimes revert to previous selection when mouse left menu area
- Fixed space at top of menu in IE7/8 when first item wasn't a menu group
- Fixed layout and CSS in IE6 (didn't need IE8.js compatibility library after all).
- Fixed IE javscript error on forgot your password page
- Fixed so "Indent on menubar" option doesn't show for menu groups anymore
- Fixed the html code in a few places to make it more XHTML standards compliant

Here's what's new since beta 1:
- Added code to list admin menu at top - search for $showAdminAtTop in lib/menus/header_functions.php
- Editors: Added "Disable Modify" option under section editors to prevent users from modifying records
- Accounts: Added "change" link to edit page so "Created By" user can now be changed by admins
- Plugins: Added some more plugin hooks
- Plugins: Plugins now show filename if no plugin name is defined

Let me know if you spot any major issues, otherwise we'll be on to the next release!
