Khaled Monsoor (ID: 0000003fab72ccb9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/12/2015 simple; just works

Sam Galbraith (ID: 000000e5241d54b1) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/27/2014 Any chance you could move the banner that announces a version switch to the bottom or something? If I get linked to a subsection of the docs, the banner obscures the top cm or so of the section for about 3 seconds. Otherwise, works as advertised :) Silly how the docs website didn't just keep this information in a cookie!
