Why, oh Why???? This new - but not improved - page?

[MissMuffett]

I had a similar prob this morning and I never log out. I have email prompts so I went in via that route

I find the increase in advertisements annoying so I visit here less than I used to.

Interesting! My red strip does not show News, Shop or Forum between 'Tools' and 'Follow'.

Same with me, my browser is Chrome. Edge has the same problem. Though my android phone does have the forum link.

Moderators are aware of the difficulties, and have alerted the admin staff responsible, @Carson_DCUK and @Administrator . Though we are sure they already have the tech staff working on this. Thanks for your patience, everyone.

Nor mine! I end up on that page when my fat finger hits Home instead of New Posts which is right below it.

Have you tried using an Ad blocker like AdBlockPlus?

I used to be good with computers but, showing how long I have been retired, I do not know how to do that.

Search online for AbBlockPlus.
The home page will then give you instructions how to install it.
Should hopefully just be one click.

I logged out and logged back in. Whereas in the past I always got to the forum questions page straight away, now following happens: first 'Join the Diabetes Community' page (with the advertisements) opens; I need to press Q, and lastly press 'Diabetes Form'. Why? Is it me? Or the changed system? Also, only used to press 'Home' to get back see other questions, once I had finished reading the one that I opened first, but now it takes me to the page with advertisements.

Hi,

I normally hit the “forums” tab, to get back to the topic lists after reading a thread.

I know admin's are not responsible for the home page, but can you please forward.
Now the home page looks like this on my browser.
It basically "screams" at you to "Join the community",
and doesn't indicate (at the top right) that if you have registered to the forum, you have already joined.
In this case clicking on the red button (if you are logged in) does nothing - as it should should, you've already joined.
by clicking on "Forum" on top right you get to the forum pages as usual,
where your user name appears on the top right if you are logged in.
I can see why this is confusing people.

Try hitting the DCUK logo top left of the top bar. You should get asked to “visit the forum?”
