New My Account Menu When Signed In

Hi everyone 
You may have noticed there's a new menu bar at the top of the site that shows up after you sign in.
This menu bar gives you access to all the tools, options, places to upload, etc. for your account. Basically, it's similar to the menu you were seeing when you entered the "My Account" area.
By placing the My Account menu on the 'whole' site, we now allow you to access your tools and settings with one less click.
To some, that might be a good thing, to others, it may seem like there's too many things to click on.
I hope that the general feeling is that this is a good addition to the site and makes the site easier to navigate.
One of the goals for this, was to bring a greater awareness to the tools and options you have available to you.
If you have any feedback or suggestions or experience any errors, let me know

Kind ofshocked me at first, wondered what had happened with the css and why the menu headings where widely spaced across the width of the screen (1280 here). Makes some sense since you say you are planning overall width changes on the site. I tend to feel comfortable with left justification though

I think it's a good addition to the site, and it doesn't screw up the overall display...it's all very clear...

spaced widely? Hmm - i wonder if your browser has some files cached - it shouldn't be much wider than the site. I'm at 1280 too, and right now, the top menu hangs just a bit over the edge of each side.
maybe hold down shift and click on refresh/reload and see what happens.
are you on IE7? I havn't checked it in IE7 nor on the mac yet.

No , I am same for the text, pageHed div is full width, maybe it was not as noticable in the old page.
Oh, and I'm totally Firefox wether I'm on my PC or Apple... IE can get stuffed!

sorry for the errors on the login page 
I replaced the majority of the login code the other day since it was a mess. Unfortunately, the change wasn't perfect, and I introduced 2 bugs. [bad admin...bad admin!]
The bugs seem to be fixed - but if you come across any others, just fill out the error form that displays or email me at: gideon -AT- markenmedia.com
----------
I'm glad to see people are liking the personal menu - should we call it that? I was first thinking "My Account Menu" - but one of the items in the menu is "My Account" - which could cause confusion. Any ideas?
