The forum seems to have changed sometime in the last day.

There is no longer a HOME button on the "Show unread" page.  This makes it hard to navigate back to the "Home" screen.

Was this intentional?

td

It's still there in the latest versions of Firefox, Edge and IE. Haven't tried other browsers and nothing on the forum has changed that would cause the button to disappear.

So, as far as you know, nothing has been changed.  This would indicate that it was not intentional.

So, must be sunspots...

td

The php scripts for this site have not  changed, no one else has reported the problem and we can't duplicate it either.  So if it is sunspots, they must be targeted at your hardware.

I'm sure the government has figured out how to make sunspots zero in on a specific target, like a drone strike.

Could be.  Maybe try wrapping your hardware in tin foil.

Always a good idea...

Curiously enough, the "Home" button is back!

Thanks to whoever fixed this (we know you don't want to be identified, but thanks anyway)

The tin foil must have worked.
