Here's mine: frames suck.
The front page now comes up completely blank in a non-frames-savvy
browser. That's unfriendly; you should at least have a NOFRAMES section.
More generally, though, frames lose for any number of reasons:
you can't bookmark a frameset, the "back" button typically doesn't
behave intuitively, etc. etc. For example, I had a link on my
personal home pages to the "search PostgreSQL mailing lists" page,
because I used that quite a lot. It doesn't work right anymore,
or at least doesn't bring me to the same display I get by going
through the "front door".
The old design seemed to be trying to emulate the look of a framed site
without actually using frames, which was not really such a bad thing.
The site *worked* quite well, except for some extra download time.
I think the new setup is less usable.
I'm not volunteering to redesign it again however :-(. I'm not
a competent web designer.
regards, tom lane
