I just noticed that minutes ago. Thought it was a bug or something since the Google logo from their homepage had changed into colored bars on my computer screen as well.
All the forum jumps are part of the dropdown menu under "Forums" for now. Another "improvement" from IB?

I used that all the time. Grrrrr.

I cleared my cache and the problem still exists. The headings are HOME, MEMBERS, EXTRAS, HELP. I have no listing for FORUMS but if I click on the arrow between HOME and MEMBERS, the various Forums show in a drop down box. Not too user friendly.

Am I being overly cynical or is it possible that the individual forum shortcuts on the front page have been removed in order to generate more page hits and thus more [potential?] ad revenue? 
Regardless of the reason it is a real PITA, a temporary one I hope.

I'm sure the ad I'm getting where the graphic used to be is generating more revenue. Granted, IB is in business to make money, but the home page is becoming something to be ignored with all the fluff content and advertisements.

I had the same problem with Google colored bars yesterday. That situation is corrected today. I still can't get to Google finance directly, but that problem has been going on awhile. I have to go through the regular Google page and from there click, scroll, click to get to their finance page. Though at least Google is better overall than it was a few weeks ago, when it was in German, Spanish, French. . . .
On FT, yesterday had the same FT problem that everyone else has mentioned. But today the FT home page with top-of-page link to Travel and Dining is back.
