Old poll - deadline expired.
On browsers with Flash support, at the top left of the current main page there is a large Flash box entitled "Today on cyclingnews.com" listing a handful of topics, each successively highlighted one at a time every few seconds. On browsers without Flash the box doesn't even show up. All of the topics in the box are listed elsewhere too, either under News, News Editions, Races or Features. Maybe Tech too.
At any rate, I find this box to be very distracting, completely useless and that it simply clutters the page. One of the biggest problems with the new page is that there is no clear point of focus, and this box is a big cause of that.
I think the page would be greatly improved if this box was removed.
I'm curious how many others agree with me; hence this poll.
