Are you on mobile? I'm not quite understanding what "Forum tool bar on the left of the page" tool bar is.

We'll need more information.

I had to take pictures with my phone of the problem. In the 1st pic there is what called a tool bar. Incorrect nomenclature I'm sure. Anyway when I click on any of the links that bar goes away and I have the 2nd pic. To get the bar back I have to click on the three lines on the left in the thick red bar near the top of the page. It happens every time I select a forum. The bar used to stay visible all the time and I could change forums easily. Now it's a pain in the butt. I am using the latest version of Firefox.

Thanks
Tom

That is normal behavior. You're using the mobile theme. It was designed for mobile devices, like cell phones, that have limited screen space. The menu disappears after usage so that the main content (posts, for example) fills the screen space.

You're accessing the community on a laptop while using the Mobile theme, which the Mobile theme was not designed for a laptop.

It appears, somehow, your account has the Mobile theme set as your default theme for the community. Unless someone changed it on your account for some reasons I don't know of, for best experience, you should be using the default theme on desktops and laptops. I can change it on your account if you want.

I don't know what happened. I am using the same bookmark on my laptop that I have used for years. Please change it to the correct format. I do use the Mobile theme on my phone.

Thanks
