I was annoyed to log in today and find that The U.K. and Ireland Travel & Dining forum is now buried as a sub-forum under Europe. This makes it more difficult to find, and takes longer to access as I have to click through an additional layer of forums.

If it's a general FT policy to do this, to keep the forum lists shorter, then I understand ... I can see there are pros and cons to both approaches.

However, why does the United States still gets to keep separate top-level forums for it's various regions? Is this an example of bias against Europe on Flyertalk?

To put this another way, we now have:

Travel&Dining: Destination >> United States

vs:

Travel&Dining: Destination >> The World > Europe

This means that the various sub-forums under Europe are buried in an additional layer of clicks. Why shouldn't Europe be at the same level as the United States?
