Quick Links menu drop down

The Quick Links menu is too long to be viewed on the screen if you're browsing with a laptop - it's a minor detail I know, but it's irritating as fuck. Is there any chance of either shortening it, removing some of the links that never get used or shifting the miscellaneous options above the networking options please?

I've noticed this too and it is pretty irritating but by now I've taught myself to automatically scroll down a little bit before pressing the Quick Links button.

Re: Quick Links menu drop down

It's not a laptop problem... it depends what resolution you're using.
I get it all no problem.

Re: Quick Links menu drop down

Can you not just click it then scroll down with your browser's scroll bars? Works fine for me in both FF and Safari.

Aye, what he said. I can do that, but it's fucking annoying and doesn't lend much to the design of the site.

I agree, it's a bit clunky.

Re: Quick Links menu drop down

ive wrote a stylish script that will help if you use firefox.

its a temporary solution, but it should help. it reduces the font size to 8pt.

if you use firefox, then install stylish : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108

then install the script: http://userstyles.org/styles/9472 (click on load into stylish).
