The latter means you have to scroll the window down to get to displayed menu options. My windows always seem a little too short to get to the subscribe to this thread option without scrolling the IE window.
Don't know if it's possible, but it would be great if all the menus would extend outside the IE window to avoid the need for the scrolling of the IE window.
The dropdown menu at the bottom of pages and the dropdown within Forum/Thread Tools at the top are actually two different types, which is why they behave differently. The top one is done with javascript and CSS, whereas the one at the bottom is plain HTML.
Unfortunately, you're going to have to scroll a little to subscribe to a thread.
