User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Introducing Updated Global Navigation/@comment-50.67.86.90-20141204074035

Just checked in to some of the wikias I frequent (read:lurk at) and there is now this large monstrosity taking up nearly three inches under my tab area. Just yesterday they were fine and now it looks like some first years incomplete computer science project. I've read the above post from the staff and attempted to go through some of the comments...could someone tell me if this is just a beta thing or if this is permanent? And could someone tell me why the staff saw a need to drastically alter the look and feel of the wikias when (from my looking at the comment section) a large group obviously protests it?
