Why was the forums button removed? I used to always navigate tot he forums this way... As otherwise I keep having to close and open chats, and scroll down to actually navigate to the forums... It was by far the button I used most in the entirety of Torn...
Sorry if this is too fast to make it, but well.. I've already tried clicking there several times... [:tongue:]
Also, now you need to buy a laptop to navigate to the forums whilst travelling, seems silly...
It doesn't make sense to have two links that go to the same place. Those top bar links were only ever meant for 'logged-out' Torn, because we've always had 'Forums' in the sidebar, or the forum button on laptops. Any ideas?

Had to open the laptop to view the forums and that interface is terrible to view forums on. I was able to right-click and view in new tab, but that would be difficult if I was on mobile.
Definitely need the forums button back on the top ribbon bar
I use mobile all the time and always click on the laptop to view forums. It's never been a problem. I wouldn't have even noticed the forum button was moved from the top.
You have two links to the same place in so many places. Every link on the city page exists once on the map and once on the text only view and most of them also exist in the sidebar. I can understand trying to streamline ux/ui but i think for forums the most used link is the one you removed (maybe I'm totally wrong though). I've never used the sidebar link for forums.
As others have said this makes it a pain to get to the forums, especially while flying. Click the laptop, click the chat bubble icon then you get to the forum with the "inside the laptop" view which is a waste of screen real estate. Then you have to click on a post so that you can see the "path to the post" which starts at "Forum Main". Clicking that "Forum Main" chevron button thing finally brings us back to the normal fullscreen forum view which we could have got to with a single click previously. 4 clicks vs 1.
