Forum menu update: a delay to reduce accidental opening

@molerat @cc123mm456, I've just copied the reply above from the old thread, where I posted a response.

@Le_Kirk Could you tell us more about the device and browser you're using?

While there has been mention on the update thread of an issue with Firefox, we haven't had any reports yet of the menu still showing instantly.

I am using Windows 11 and Google chrome, as I have been for a couple of years without issue. Not sure that 0.5 seconds is the right length, if I pass over "Quick Links" or "Categories" it drops down the menus.

We wanted to make it the longest possible delay within common standards.

The often-stated recommendation is 0.3-05 maximum, so it's already at the outer edge of recommended practice.

For me the delay is fine .. it is a noticeable pause before the menu drops down, so a skim of the mouse over that area does not cause the issue previously seen. 🙂
