All you have to do is click on your avatar, go to 'settings,' then you'll see 'forums.' From there, you'll see this below:

you missed this, it was before you joined.

it used to be to hide the forum? click on the little - next to the forum name

to show it? click "forum options" next to the words "Forum list" and theres the list.

so. how to a user, is the new system any better?

first you've had to tell me where the settings are! clicking on an avatar? could you hide that any better? whats telling the user this is where the settings are? nothing. we had to ask.

think about that.
