That's actually NOT a good idea. That page will be gone and the files that depend on it will be outdated, resulting in more frustration for you. You can still one-click from the home page (or any page) to the forum you want, just slide your mouse over the forum button and select the area you want.

As for the buy & sell area, we want folks to go to the featured page first to give members who feature their ad a chance to show off what they have. If you have set your "universe" the home page in the market will automatically display the types of things you are interested in (e.g. helicopters, if that is what your universe is set to). Also, we might add specific categories to the Buy & Sell menu up top.

The changes were not to make the site "pretty". Rather they were to clear up confusion among some members in quickly finding things. In your case, only one area is affected (market) and at most it is one extra click. I'm not minimizing your issue, just putting it in perspective so you understand the balance we are trying to achieve. I'll chat with Marc about the menu solution.
