You got me FiFi, I went looking for said response for about two minutes before the sarcasm was detected.

In any event, regarding mobile, I've found that if I long-press "Community" until I get the phone's context menu asking what I want to do with the link, then just tap outside of that context menu to close it, the "Community" drop menu remains visible so I can click anything in it. Does this work for anyone else?

That's what I do

TL;DR from the stream today with Mod Poerkie:

- There's no plans to remove the forums
- They are removing the photo booth for forum pics
- The download button replacing forum button is temporary (but probably gonna be permanent depending on how well it does)

Cheers for the highlights. I missed it...

As for the photo booth that will be a shame. Just hope there is something to replace it like a real picture link.

As for the download button tis also a shame.

Nice to see no plans to remove the forums. I can plan ahead and get my 150,000th post.

Photo booth too difficult to fix then, presumably...

Not important, so won't bother, is more likely.

(not important to Jagex, that is. Fuck the customers who want to use it).

And I do not, for one minute, believe the mealy-mouthed assurances that there are "no plans" to remove the forums.

JMods have removed themselves almost entirely from the RSOF.

Caretaking is now either by volunteers, is outsourced and the one JMod who sporadically appears has the RSOF tacked onto his list of duties and can only fit us in "as and when", it would seem.

Getting them to maintain one thread - one bloody thread - is a constant battle.

To find out even the simplest things one has, in many instances, no choice at all but to visit third party websites.

No improvements have been made to RSOF for a long, long time and none are planned.

Access to the forums is now hidden away and doubtless will remain so.

The very basic ability - to have a forum avatar - has now been withdrawn.

The writing is, I believe, very much on the wall. The policy of neglect and ignoring will continue until there's no one left.

I don't often rage against Jagex and their policies but, right now, I despise them for this.

They should just have the guts to kill us off instantly.

All they're doing by being "sly" about it is making people salty.

I wonder if there'll be something to continue on avatars in some manner too. Considering the web team just added a "My Account" button which has your avatar next to it. After all, it would be a bit weird to add code for a visual that they're not supporting anymore

Forumers now need to bookmark RSOF or google "runescape forums" to reach RSOF from a mobile device. It is very difficult for a mobile phone to click a link inside a drop down menu (unless you have a Galaxy Note, as the pen has a hover feature).

Looks like the Community button consists of two buttons. If you press on the left side it will just redirect to the main page, but if you press on the right side it opens the drop down menu. It's still really annoying though.
