i'll stick with the shortcut, as it seems the way to go.
but for me it's strange that you dont have a direct link to the forum on the start page, and you have to go to the "support menu" to access the forum.
On many website when you have a forum, you have a direct link on the land screen, and if you need to be logged to access it, it will redirect you first on a log/create account.
that's why i was thinking i had a problem, like an extension messing the website.
but that seems the way it's designed so in the end, no technical problem for me ^^
