0001051: Clicking the "Forum" button on the home page brings you to the portal page.
In the portal page there is no links to the forum, except the small forum link under the "Zandronum" banner.

When I first clicked the "Forum" button on the main page and brought to the portal page, I was confused.
I couldn't find anything that leads me to the forums, I tried to seach for "forum", and I haven't noticed at all the link under the banner.

Later I clicked "View your posts" to see if the forums are open at all, and they were.
I tried again to search on the portal page for "talk", to find a link to the Zandronum talk forum, but couldn't find anything.

After that I tried to delete "portal.php" from the address bar to reach the forums.

Only after that I found that tiny link among others under the "Zandronum" banner that says "Forums".

Well I hope this users experience describe very well this serious flaw.
The "Forum" button on the main page should lead me to the forums, not the portal page which have as much to do with the forums as any other page with the "Zandronum" banner and the links under it.

This problem could be fixed easily, and I believe so that it caused a lot of trouble for other users once they've entered the new site for the first time (and will cause for future users), and this is why I marked it urgent.
No tags attached.

I do agree with you, but I will note that someone changed it since that's how I had it originally.
