MSE Site But No Forum Accessible !

Options

Since the new forum changes there is no access, or even the word 'forum' on the MSE site, so, if I want to look at the forum I am only able to do it by opening a new window, doing a search, accessing it from there and then I have it.

Why not have the forum under the same umbrella as the MSE site anymore, why is it a separate entity now ???

    For me it says Forum on the drop down menu on the main site. Click it and it reports the page has crashed due to an unexpected error. It's been like that since day one.

    I have just tried accessing the forum via the main site (click ‘Forum’ on top right and it works perfectly on my phone, tablet and PC.  Perhaps it’s something to do with your browser?  I use Firefox on all 3 devices.

    I use Safari. It's the latest version and iOS 13.4 so all up to date. It should work with a widely used up to date browser.

    How the Home Page looks for me using FireFox

    And when I then click on 'Menu'


    If from there I click on 'Forum', it takes me as expected to the forum home page.

    The only suggestion I can make to people without a direct forum option/button is to get on the forum and bookmark it in your browser.
    Also the mobile version of the site seems to lose things, on a tablet or phone I always request desktop site.

    Hi all. This is unrelated to the Forum launch and is part of a change to the main site navigation to help people find things easier on the main site.

    Everyone will have a link to the Forum from the main site...it just might change depending on what size of screen you're looking at. As the above screenshots have suggested (thanks everyone) if you're on a phone, tablet or some smaller laptops, the link will either be in the 'Hamburger' menu (the three lines to the top right) or may appear in the 'More' section when that is visible.

    From day one of the new forum the links running along the top right of the page have always had a slight delay in appearing (still do)
  • Look, this is what i see, nothing visible ….

    Having been on this forum forever I now see no mention at all.
