you're not the first person to ask for this.

It should be quite straightforward for us to create an Account Settings option to "unpin" the menu bar from the top of the page. Unfortunately we do have a pretty long list of priorities at the moment while we stabilize and make fixes to the new version, but I'll add this to the list and we'll be able to include it.

If enough people are interested, then an entire "Discreet Mode" might be a cool option to have, something that tweaks and hides certain site elements to give the site a more "neutral" appearance. It would take a lot longer to develop than just unpinning the menu bar, but could be useful for some people who visit DU. Anyway I'm just thinking aloud here, I'll have to give it some thought... anyone who might be interested in such a mode should let me know what they would like it to include (or perhaps I should say exclude).
