Moving navbar popup links to footer - good idea?

Hi all,

I was just looking at NZB without a css style and noticed (as a logged-in user) that there was a great deal of.. lets call it 'junk' before any actual content was visible.

This was all the popup menu stuff from the navbar.

I moved it to the footer. Nothing seems to have broken but I'd appreciate the community's input on the idea.

Are you thinking about faster loading of navbar? Since logged out users and crawlers don't see these large popup menu's above the content (unless search for guests is enabled), there is only a small "go to page" menu visible for spiders. If no problems arise I guess this can't hurt.

its been suggested before. I tried it myself before it simply got too hard to maintain after moving to 3.6.
When i move it again, it won't be using the js anymore, nor tables.

I allow guests to search so I guess I would benefit from moving it to the footer right?

I view the source as a guest and that code appears before the content
