The problem is that I had the Noront forum bookmarked. Rather than taking me to the Noront discussion page my bookmark took me to the Noront home page. You're right - Why do we need both a home page and a discussion page? Also I tried to save a link which would take me directly to the discussion page rather than the home page. When I clicked on the link I had created to the discussion page I just went back to the home page; so I guess that won't work. Anyway thanks for your help - I can probably learn to live with this now that I know I have to go to the discussion page and not the home page and I can probably learn to click the icon for the discussion page once I get to the home page which I never had to do before. I'm glad I'm not the only one irritated by this even if it is a kind of small irritation once you learn the trick of it.
