Click for dropdown about haxe.org HOT 2 CLOSED

I'm unlikely to change this for a few reasons:

• It's not that clumsy - this is the default behaviour on bootstrap, and therefore on thousands of websites. I think our target market is tech savvy enough to figure it out, and the little arrow does hint that a dropdown is to be expected.
• All pages are still accessible - the page that would open if you JS did not capture the link click is the first page on the dropdown anyway.
• If JS is turned off, you can still navigate to all pages effectively.
• This is the better behaviour on touch devices, and it is not always straight-forward to know if a device is touch or not. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/4819886 and all the answers which were not correct or worked at one time but do not work anymore.
• We're using bootstrap and this is the default behaviour, and to change it means implementing our own system.
• I personally find hover menus more frustrating as they disappear if you go even 1px over the edge.

Having said all that, if enough people really think this is bad UX we can change it. But I think it is fine (and even preferable) for our target market :)

I for one would prefer it to expand on hover. I don't have any software-ergonomic insight to share, it's just what I'm used to.
