It doesn't really make sense to me why we have to mouse over the Member's Menu to have it expand since there's nothing else on the right side of the layout competing for vertical real estate. I'd suggest just permanently expanding the whole thing, or breaking it down into sub-sections that can then be mouseover-expanded.
Also, the main inconvenience in my day-to-day usage is that getting to my own profile page to see if my auctions closed takes an extra jaunt through the 'Home' page every time. Perhaps a 'Linked Chars' section in the new, expanded menu? :D
