Default Lost "Forums" link in the red bar above the threads

Lost "Forums" link in the red bar above the threads. Is there any way to get it back. It previously was just to the right of user cp.

It was decided that it needed to be removed in part because it is already duplicated in the Global Navbar that is below the CorvetteForum logo/banner.

+1 ....The drop down is now bigger than my screen size --- and that is with the CF logo/banner hidden and the search bar at the top of my screen..

I'm pretty sure some sub forums can't be accessed ..

The fact that half of the menu that they want us to use scrolls off the bottom of the screen tells me that they didn't put sufficient thought into this.

Has that Global Navbar always been there? I've never used it before. I do like it in the redbar. That is disappointing.

The global navbar has been there for atleast a few months.

Why tinker with crap like that? It's not improving anything.

The original "Forums" drop down allowed going to the "Main" menu and now there doesn't appear to be as easy of a way to get there

Just checked and using my Ipad, the only way I can get to the Main Menu is to tap the global navbar Forums tab twice

The Forums menu is a drop-down menu with sub-menus, however, clicking on the Forums will take you to the main index forum. Clicking on the Home icon will take you to the home page outside of the forum.

Why mess with such simple little things? The inconvenience to your users negates any perceived benefit. Slow day for your developers?

Absolutely - IB, change it back. At least do some research before screwing with things.

Even if you have the screen maximized and the menu at the top - the drop down forces you to scroll up and down to reach OT and Help forums.

IB - you guys need to do a little testing and/or research before making your forums less usable.

With this new change on my computer, When I click on the CF main homepage there is no way to get into any of the forums...just a listing of clickable articles on the left of the page, along with "join now" "connect with us" and FB links on the right.

To get in, I have to click on one of the articles to get to a page which has the drop-downs to go anywhere else on the forum (Most of the articles are C7 related which I don't care to read anyhow)

That is a separate issue and not part of the issue. We will investigate that issue with the missing global navbar on the homepage.

I appreciate it.

Sounds like you have quite the thankless job...akin to a meteorologist
