Clicking on "Forums" in the left navigation menu will bring you to the All Forums page.
Ahh, I see, said the blind man.
Still, this raises some interesting points:
- the forum pages used to not have the sidebar, but had the top bar. (granted, not consistent with other parts of the site)
- the side bar ostensibly takes up more real estate on the screen than the top bar, yet one of the reasons given for removing the top bar was "waste of space".
I just wish I knew what the *idea* was behind the changes. Adding new features or restricting things because of problems is one thing, changing a basic fundamental part of the navigation of the system (seemingly without warning) is another.
