    So the nice shiny logo in the middle of the top of the page. Its cool. Its a hyperlink that takes you back to meepcraft.com .
    As a person who has been clicking the logo instead of refreshing like a normal person, pls change it to lead back to the forum homepage ;-;

    EDIT: As an add on to this, if you guys want easy access to the hub page, you could add a link to it on that 3-part announcer I forget what its called (the meepcraft/discord/upgrade thing)

    Its worse on mobile cuz you have to scroll down every time too. And to refresh you scroll to the top of the page anyways to swipe down. I hate it haha

    Same thoughts. That logo has always been the solution of mine to come back to the main forum homepage.

    +1 for making the logo go here instead.

    The change didn't go over too well w/ da Fuzz--I know that that logo's a reflex reaction go go back, because I've been hitting that logo to go back for, like, 7 years now. But, that "News" tab does the thing too--a nifty little compromise if we don't get our way :) (viva la resistance!)

    This makes me sad.
    I feel like this is a vote-able thing...

    I
    I kind of expect it to function like any other website.
    When I am shopping on walmart.com and I click on the Walmart logo, I generally expect to be taken to the main page of walmart. It would be annoying if it took me to a list list of all the different services that Walmart offers, and then I had to pick the regular store out of the walmart pickups, customer service, vehicle service, money transferring station, whatever else walmart has, just to return to the main store page. I think itd be a good idea to add a tab to the scrolly thing like "If you want to return to the home page /directory/ whatever click here!" But its annoying. Even if you ignore the fact that its a habit for a lot of people.

    Petition to change it back since we haven't got any reasoning. It's been over a month now, save those days in the middle.

    So here's what is 'missing' from the forum page after we open forums from the main landing page.

    Play - literally everyone knows how to connect
    Map - could be cool but not realistically something thats often used
    Stats - same as map
    Shop/vote - Honestly, even though these are on the landing page I think they should not have been removed from forums (esp vote because people will bookmark the forum page instead of the home page and voting will be out of sight out of mind) either way its easy to manually go to the home page to do either thing.
    Discord - fine to keep there but its all on the scroller tab so its not like we're missing it

    At least forums should be moved to the top. Even more so on mobile since its its really annoying to have to scroll to the bottom every time and I find myself looking at various threads, hitting the logo over and over out of habit for the last 6 years, getting annoying and stop using forums for the day.

    It's simply inconvenient. Im probably beating a dead horse over something dumb but forums is easily my favourite platform and I really hate this change.

    ^^^ still annoying :) (+1)

    edit: i get that the main button is meant to go to the directory thing that makes sense if fuzz is being weird about that. compromise tho: if you’re gonna keep the link the same then just swap Home and News spots on the bar so that people instinctively click News at the far left and get taken to the proper front page @CluelessKlutz

    My suggestion is that we keep the big logo as a link to meepcraft.com and make the Home button take us to forum.meepcraft.com. The way it is now it's a pain trying to get to the forum's main page.

    I actually suggested the same thing. However it's wanted to keep the 'Home' tab as is. A workaround is that 'News' will take you to the forums homepage.
