New Header Menu

[Dancing Wind]

I'm seeing a new layout for the black header at the top of the page. In that version, there are no words, just a white hamburger in the upper right corner.

To get to my messages, I not only have to click the hamburger icon, but I have to then click "My Account".

Apparently we will no longer be able to see if we have new messages without drilling down two layers of menus. And even if it's retained as a red dot on the "My Account" icon, that's still hidden, and I'd have to continually click the hamburger to find out if I had new messages.

Since I assume this is a test (I'm seeing the old menu when I log in on a different computer) let me be the first to request that you put some kind of indicator beacon that gives a notification about new messages on all pages, not just buried under the hamburger menu

ETA after testing:
Nope, no indicator on the header; red dot has disappeared from the My Account icon; and you have to go three levels down just to see if you have a message.

Not good.

What you are describing sounds like the mobile version of the site that I see on my iPhone. It's been like that for a long time.

I'm still seeing the full menu (red dot included) on my laptop like always. So I don't think they've changed anything for the standard header.

My guess is that your browser on that one computer is being read as a mobile device for some reason.

How interesting!

The computer in question is an old desktop (so old that the hardware is not compatible with Win 11).

On my new in 2022 laptop, I'm still seeing the full-menu-in-the-header version

The url on the old page doesn't have any indicators that it's being served as a mobile page

Maybe a cached settings problem? Have you cleared those on the old machine with the recent sign in problems?

What's the resolution on your old desktop? The website will display with a desktop layout or a mobile layout based solely on the browser width. If your browser window is less than ~990 pixels, it will switch to the mobile layout automatically. Desktop users can verify this for themselves easily by shrinking their browser window horizontally. If your old desktop runs at a resolution of 1024x768 or lower, it may be that your browser will always use the mobile layout due to a lack of real estate.

This behavior is caused purely by CSS, and hasn't changed in years, so there shouldn't be any interactions with sessions, caching, or other things of that nature.
