It's better to have the menu on the left for right handed persons and may be in fixed position as cascading style sheets can do.
However, some people have a horror of chaptkas that are often cumbersome unreadable strings

Re: Glad to come back here
I may very well set up an alternate theme that would have the menu on the right for those who're left handed (or just like that style). I'd like to stabilize the site first.
Chaptkas (by which I think you mean captchas, at least here in Western Canada) are unfortunately a bit of a necessity - there are just too many bots out there that are looking to do nothing but seed spurious links, and some of them are getting to be downright impressive ... I keep having a bad suspicion that the first truly Turing aware AI will be a spam bot of some sort. For now, I'm planning on keeping the captchas unless I can see a compelling case for not doing so.

Captchas (
Chaptkas was a mistake) are a way of avoiding disturbing bots attacks. More sophisticated methods exist but need server administration access rights both for Apache and IIS.I have no experience about the quality of web services hosting in North America and support teams knowledge.
I have experienced some in France since 2000, it is a pity that most of them are unable to control very inappropriate use of networking usage such as massive mailings attacks and DoS tries. I will not publish here names of bad services in order to avoid defame debates.
I received a letter from the lawyer of some of them about non paid services I was not able to use. I am just waiting if they just are joking or try to escrow money or want to go to justice court (I have formal proof of lack of operational knowledge and destructive mistakes).
I am an Internet user since 1980 and I worked for software and telcos and network security a long time.
