in reply to Were there changes made to the main site navigation bar?

It looks like someone finally got around to implementing Non-breaking spaces in perlmonks nav bar as well, which is fine by me. Sometimes the word wrap produced odd results.

I'd still like to see the sections sorted alphabetically though. But some people like it the way it is, so that would be Yet Another User Setting, and I'm not sure if the effort is worth it. /msg me if you think it is.

    From what I saw in the HTML it looks as though the non-breaking spaces were added, I'm confused as to why the <br> tags were also added. Why not let the menu conform to the user's screen size?
    Replacing &nbsp; with white space should be plenty. If someone is really worried about links wraping on seperate lines why not just wrap each link with more than one word in <nobr> tags? Wouldn't that more accurately give the desired results as well as leave the job of formatting to the screen resolution?
