Maybe you owe the mods an apology?
Haha, love these warm welcomes! This is such a non-issue but since everyone is being pretty cheeky, I had to get to the bottom of this for the sake of my pride. More importantly, hopefully this helps any other new users with the same problem.
After trawling through other threads, I've discovered the forum defaults to a 'trending topics' view for all new users, with whoever made that decision probably not realising that it hides all forum descriptions to 'streamline' the UI - you have to mouse over an inconspicuous little 'i' icon to see them. This means my forum homepage, as a new user,
looks completely different to yours (sincere thanks for posting a comparison screenshot).
Here's what the Easyjet forum looks like for me (on the left), and what happens when I try and access it (as described in my opening post).
I can NOW see the forum descriptions by default - but only because I've turned off the automatically applied option of 'trending topics' that was buried deep in my user settings! Hopefully a forum admin will review what onboarding is like as a 'new user' and understand the problems I was having... as can the rest of you
Happy to be here!
