Have you looked at your account page lately? The link to the forums is gone. Now to access the forums from that page, you need to find in the dropdown menu on the right side named "Resident Links".
Looks like a feature that was already a mystery to most residents will now be even more hidden.

Step one in restructuring the forums: Hide 'em.

A lot of the links in Resident Links are repeated in the left-hand menu. "Forums" is not one of those. Perhaps it's to keep more people from joining in the lawsuit.

I don't think I've ever clicked that Resident Links drop down box before. Thanks for the heads up...I would of thought they shut it down!

At least new residents will have no problem finding the link to buy a crappy headset.

This appears to be one of those "Version A / Version B" tests they mentioned in the Blog. I look at my account page, and it looks as it always has.

Heh, they should have done the opposite - highlight the forums and make the blog comments impossible to find. I know which one I'd rather read Ain't dat th' truth! This is a tea party compared to the blog comments. _____________________

It's still at the bottom of the SL 'Introductory' page. The only time I go to my accounts page is to check transactions and such. Those who use the forums often probably have it bookmarked, and newbies probably go to the first page when and if they're searching for things related to SL.
Or am I missing something? _____________________

They have also spelt 'Square' in peak land usage as 'Sqare' Tried to raise a ticket for it but as I can't find a category for typoose I gave up. I tried live chat but they were off-line. I have just sent a letter to the Oxford and Cambridge dictionary to change the spelling of 'Square' to 'Sqare' as I think that will be the most expediant course of action. I also cc'd the Queen of England to rename Parliment square to Parliment Sqare.
.....Oh, just had a reply from the Queen.. 'Sorry, due to server issues our Buck' house server is off-line. This is due to more than 3 people trying to access it at the same time. If you continue to encounter this error please contact support. In the meantime, why not download our newest viewer which will enhance your experience. Please be advised that this is not tested but we have released it anyway. Oh, also, if you run a business, be advised we have changed the search engine so no-one can find you. Have a nice day...ER and her family' _____________________
