: How come the TRIPS and DESIGN boards don't have verticle frames like KAYAK
: BUILDING and TECHNIQUE? My bias is for verticle frames.

We had this discussion a while ago and I had to make a command decision about the standard way each would look. Some people like horizontal others like vertical. What you see is the compromise I arrived at as default. I also have the following...

Vertical alternatives:

and for those who prefer horizontal:

If you don't like the default configurations, please bookmark the above alternatives and use them instead.
