Here's what it looks like when the "Navigate" button is clicked:



You get quick links to:

Latest Discussions
Greatest Discussions
Latest Videos
Latest Breaking News
General Discussion
The DU Lounge

And then beneath that:

Issue Forums
Culture Forums
Alliance Forums
Region Forums
Support Forums
Help & Search

It should be immediately apparent to anyone who clicks the "Navigate" button where all the forums on DU are.

The left column on every page is for your personal forum listing. It will always list the "Big Three" (LBN, GD, and the Lounge) but beneath that is "Subscribed Forums" -- any forum you subscribe to will appear in that list, so you'll always have quick links to the forums you like most, and you can customize that list by subscribing or unsubscribing.

Meanwhile, there's a screenshot of the Issue Forums page in the OP, here it is again:



We updated the sort order of these new forum category pages, so that by default the forum with the most recent new thread goes to the top of the page (like when you reply to a thread in a forum). That way, you can always see at a glance which forums have new items (compared to the DU3 category pages which are just displayed in alphabetical order).
