Hey I noticed this when trying to navigate via the "shows" button on the top of the site, this picture explains it all.

I wonder if some links should pop up a new window and other shouldn't. For example, if somebody links elsewhere on the current site, people wouldn't expect a popup. Or, if the link is to something that has moved. I can think of a lot of times where having the link pop up a new window may not be desirable.
It is possible for people to do it themselves of course, like this:
Visit our business site in a new window
On the mac, I tend to use the "command-click" feature of firefox to open new tabs (I prefer to put everything in new tabs myself). I am wondering whether it may be better to let people manage popups and tab links according to their preferences?

Yes any link off site should be a new tab or browser window but.. after reading your post i got to thinking that the new beta viewer 2.0 doesn't open new browser windows or tabs so maybe with being so involved with second life it may be a better idea to keep that setting the way it is until some kind of multi window functionality comes to media in secondlife. Alternatively I use ctr+left click on the desired link for new tabs and shift + click for new windows on my windows machine in firefox.

Ahhh, menus disappearing under the flash player. I'll get that fixed, probably within the week. Thanks for pointing it out. Note that if you are going back to the VSN simboarding main page, the title at the top-right (the name of the show), is clickable, and that may be a good shortcut.
Any feedback on improving these things is vastly appreciated.

Hmm only thing that comes off the top of my head to address this problem would be to simply have the shows button not cascade down (I think the link is self explanatory) and we're not in the 56k days no more yay!, taking time to load the shows page is a matter of little importance to anyone with broadband.. just something on the top of my head though its not as if I spent hours contemplating alternatives.

Don't spend too many hours contemplating alternatives. :-)
It's actually a pretty simple fix that involves a Flash player parameter ("wmode") that needs to be set to the value "transparent". Usually that fixes such problems, though I have to do a bunch of testing to be sure it doesn't break anything else.
At least, I hope that's the simple fix (it has worked on many other sites in the past for us). My luck, there is some new and curious reason why it won't this time. :-)
