Forum button missing? (1 Viewer)

Is the Forums button missing for anyone else on the main page? I go to footballguys.com and the button is no longer on the top of the page with the other buttons.

I’ve never viewed this site on anything other than an iPhone.

All good here

I cant' find it either. I have to go to my history and find the link when I visited three days ago.

That's correct. We did a small upgrade and cleaned up the top line menu on the site.

Still super easy to get to on the footballguys.com site as the forum button is now in the "MORE" button at the top and then at the top of the column "Connect With Footballguys" where we list our communities.

Or as most people do, just create a bookmark in your browser.

Same thing happens with all my favorite shirts.

As someone with UI/UX experience - this feels more like an effort to hide the forums, and would not be considered "super easy" by any stretch, nor would asking your users to simply bookmark the link.

Generally you want to make things easier for consumers to intuitively find content on your site, with minimal clicks. (and thinking that forums might exist under "more" is neither intuitive, nor minimizing clicks - now two.)

And, it could be that that the forums are not a big draw for subscribers - so, reducing visibility could be a good business decision - but I would not call it "super easy".

Thanks. We disagree but I appreciate your insight and expertise there.

I feel like “stupid” is a strong word but I agree that I liked it better before.
