I notice that all the training forums are now hidden behind a "Training" link on the main forum page.
I'm finding this annoying because it's an extra link to click to see the various training forums, instead of just seeing all the forums on main list.
IMO, there aren't so many subforums that just listing them all on one page is problematic, although I can see consolidating the Special Events subforums because most users are excluded from those anyway.
While I'm complaining about forum formatting, I also miss having direct links to the latest articles at the bottom of the main forum page. That's usually where I first noticed new articles in the past.
Finally, I'm not loving the "Ladies and Gentlemen"/"Brotherhood/Sisterhood" language, especially specifying "Ladies and Gentlemen ONLY." I get that this is intended to refer more to polite and civil behavior than gender identity (at least I hope it is...), but it seems unnecessarily binary and exclusionary (and therefore ironically contrary to an ethos of welcoming and considerate behavior) in a context where gendered language doesn't seem necessary at all. Can't we just be a "Community of Strength" (or Family of Strength, House of Strength, Clan of Strength, Tribe of Strength, Society of Strength, Fellowship of Strength, League of Strength, Circle of Strength, etc.)?
