No, they have not. I see no change.
For "MyFlyerTalk", don't you just have the link in the upper left? That's a one-click.
To repeat what I already said at least twice--last time around and in this same thread earlier today--no, the text links are not a satisfactory alternative.

Why?
  • Because on a mobile device (even using desktop UI, which I do), the My FlyerTalk at top left (next to Hotel Reviews) and MYFLYERTALK at top right (in the submenu under my username) are actually two-clicks, not one-clicks.
  • The third text link (under Reply to Thread) is a one-click, true--but it's a small target that harder to hit using fingertip presses on a mobile device. The previous My FlyerTalk "bug" was nice and big; taking it away makes no sense whatsoever, as the space it used to occupy (at the very top right center) is now completely unused except for the globe-map background. You guys took it away for absolutely no reason & made the UI worse in doing so. "Lose-lose" is not a good look.
