I know the new forum look has only just gone up and we will all need to get used to it but one glaring issue for me is that you can't see all the forums in one glance. How do I know in which section lies the forum I want to go to, and if someone is simply browsing they're going to miss on relevant forums unless they trawl through each forum section individually.

Unless the intention was when you select All Boards you get the full list because at the moment All Boards takes me to the same place as My Favourites is.

    All boards is taking me to the forum home.  
    However, clicking on Forum Home doesn't take you to the forum home. It takes you to the page before that requiring another click on view all to take you to the forum home.

    What are you seeing on Forum Home because all I see are the general forum categories not all the forum boards?

    I see likewise. Clicking on the View All Boards button gives access to all the boards, grouped by header category. :)

    No, clicking on All Boards takes me to My Favourites every time. Interestingly though I tried All Boards whilst I was logged out via a different browser and I did get to see the correct page will all the boards grouped under their categories but as soon as I logged back in and tried again All Boards took me to My Favs once again. Clearly something's not quite right.

    I don't have any favourites set, so that may be why we have different experiences. :)

    Anybody any idea how to create a new thread?   
    I don't need to do this at the moment,  but there doesn't seem to be an opinion for that anywhere....  update .....except the page before the forum home, which seems a very strange place to put it!
