Wonders why the powers that be felt it necessary to remove the forums direct link, stuffing it into community drop down. To leave in it's place a downloads button that's twice it's size. After all we could have removed the news drop down tab as I'm sure it got far less use.

Yes, I have to admit I had a brief panic there!

I agree, I'm not sure hiding the Forums button is a good idea.

Oh I'm sure the persistent looking for the forums will find it. After all I spotted where it landed in under 20 seconds.

However I don't see the logic in a giant download button along with the play free button that takes you to the download page anyhow. So giving the download 25% of the clickable button space just seems rather intrusive to those that use the website rather than the client. After all once the client is downloaded unless looking up something everything is down from the desktop.

What's the point of having a 'Try free' button for people who are already logged into the site, and who therefore have already created an account and tried the game?

At first I thought i'd somehow ended up on the 'new user' version of the website (yes, there is one), but no, it was a badly thought through update.

The new user version of the website already has big "Create account" and "Download" buttons. Why do we need them on the version of the site seen by existing users?

Or use the link to the new user website:
https://www.runescape.com/splash


So yea these massive links on the main website are pointless. It's not a browser game anymore, so most people visiting the website are regular players wanting to visit News/Forums/GE/Hiscores. The OSRS layout of the website is much more suitable.
