Has some nice aspects, but that secondary nav is horrible in almost every way.

  I'm not in any way related to this effort, but if you're going to give criticism, please at least make it constructive or give examples of what you mean. I certainly didn't find it horrible "in almost every way".

    Sorry, I wanted to add that I agree with several others that the secondary nav is flawed, but couldn't really decide which comment to reply to. Most of the reasons to why it isn't very good have already been stated, but I agree my specific comment was bad because it didn't add anything new or helpful, other than "someone else doesn't like it."

    I think that was an example of very concise and constructive criticism. Sometimes just about everything is wrong with a given design, and saying so is the best way to express this. In this case, it's pretty obvious that the nav buttons are uselessly large, the empty padding on either end is wasteful and annoying, the location mid-way down the page isn't practical, the color makes it blend in with the page's background, the drop down submenus make it awkward to find and get to the information being sought, the submenus are cluttered, and so forth. The location is poor. The appearance is poor. The usability is poor. Using "horrible in almost every way" to describe it is very accurate and precise. It's just not the kind of thing that works after some minor tweaks; it all needs to be thrown away and redone using a different approach.

      It might be "constructive" if everyone is in basic agreement and people know what's being referred to. That's certainly not the case with the OP's comment, and there's obviously people who disagree. The specifics in your comment (especially your "In this case..." paragraph) are much more helpful and specific.
