The loss of this top banner clickable line makes this forum nearly impossible to navigate with my iPhone. I would say about half the time I use my phone to use the forum.
I was annoyed by the pop up that had appeared telling you to subscribe to the digital magazine. That always appeared at the top of the first page you dropped in on. If you were coming in on a new post in a topic you were following it grayed out the rest of the topic and did not let you post until you scrolled all the way to the top and 'X'ed it out.
That was annoying but there was a work around but this loss of the banner makes the forum unusable.
