SWF with compression can be sized as little as a gif, and 10 year old computers have no problem loading flash objects (especially if they contain a simple animation - what flash was initially used for). Libraries, public shared educational pc's have flash, and my grandma has flash. Linux has flash, mac has flash.
GIF's are far too out-dated for previewing. I'm not saying swf is the only option - it's just one, but this is a new site and gif as the only animation preview is very limiting.
I'm not here for a debate but I also run several domains, dedicated servers, etc. Uncompressed Avi's would hardly run hard on bandwidth these days with what hosts provide and while this site has a great community, by the time it has enough traffic to talk about bandwidth, it will need to be on a better, more dedicated machine anyhow.
Last thing, PLEASE, PLEASE add swf support for previews. Even if the preview size limitation is small, it would allow awesome animation previewing since gif sucks for lack of a better term.
As for versions for dropdown issue; Window XP SP3 with latest chrome. Mouse over Browse, then try mousing down to a sub-category, the dropdown poofs. I have seen this on vista for chrome as well. I assume the second the mouse leaves the 'Browse' it is activating the mouse-out event that causes the drop-down to disappear.
If you don't get the time or figure it out before I get a chance, i'll play with some code and submit the fix when I get a chance.
EDIT - found it
Menubar div -> 36px
div 'content' -> 34px
Attached screenshot will show you the 2 pixel gap causing this.
Initially upon working on this short clip I intended to make a tune, but decided it sounded more ambient and went with that. I thought it was kind of bleh, but i've had fair feedback on it unexpectedly so I may work on more environmental background tunes if people can use them.
I'm glad to hear it came as some use to you :)
When you publish I would greatly appreciate it if you gave me the app info to add it to links sections on some of my sites.
Cheers
Cool shading! :)
FL Studio, you?
Nice! I love this kind of background theme audio. Kudos work :)

Nice to see quick response, thanks for that.

Whilst posting:
PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1205 Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction: SELECT 1 AS expression FROM {variable} variable WHERE ( (name = :db_condition_placeholder_0) ) FOR UPDATE; Array ( [:db_condition_placeholder_0] => cache_content_flush_cache_block ) in MemCacheDrupal->variable_set() (line 386 of/var/www/sites/opengameart/sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache.inc).
GIF's look terrible. I'll see if I can get in contact with admin about having swf's for previews (would be awesome!).
I'll add a gif until then :) Thanks
3. Ability to see comments made on your submissions (maybe it's already there and I missed it) without having to open each of them individually.
Thanks.
