pilotedge.net top navigation not tablet-friendly

Just a friendly heads-up to the pilotedge.net webmaster... I was trying to navigate the site on my Windows 8.1 tablet last night and I found that the top navigation bar on the pilotedge.net home page was not "touch-friendly." The menu requires the mouse to hover over it to appear, but there's no good way to do this with your finger. Then, when you lift your finger to tap one of the links the menu disappears again. I tried two-fingering it but that didn't work either.

Why'd you install that virus on top of Windows 7?! Just kidding ;)

Which web browser are you using? Works just fine with touch on a WebKit based browser.

As Matt said, the menu should open with a click/tap if your device doesn't support hover and works fine on iOS and Android devices. I don't have a Windows 8.1 tablet and am unlikely to acquire one, but I'd be interested to know what browser you were using on the tablet...?

I was using the metro (full-screen) version of IE 11.

I just tried it on my Windows Phone IE 11 and it didn't work there either.

If you tap it with your finger the menu does open, but as soon as you lift your finger to tap a link it closes again.

I just tried it on my iPad mini and it worked ok there. The menu stayed open after I lifted my finger.
