That "db1" keeps showing up?

The same thing is happening to me, but I never mentioned it, since I thought it would be some leftovers from the move and everything. Though it's still happening to me whenever I change my icon or signature. Whenever I change something in my User CP and save it and decide to go back to my board, I click either on the dropdown menu and go there or use a link from the subscribed threads. But when I directly click on the logo, it brings me to the main page - without the db1.fanforum.com address and everything loads smoothly. It can be a bit annoying though to go all the way from there to my board.


Another problem that just popped up: Norton InternetSecurity told me that was recognized as a suspicious website and sent the URL to Symantec. It did that automatically, so there was nothing I could do. I'm not even sure what happened. I just clicked on the link for the QaF board in my favorites, the board loaded and suddenly the warning popped up. Maybe it was some of those ads there?!

That goes to the FF main page, though. With the dropdown, the forum you're in is auto highlighted so you can just click "go" and it goes back to the main page of that specific forum.

The "top" link or even pressing the home key is still very awkward compared to having the link right there under where you'd just finished posting, like it always was before!

If generating the dropdown uses a lot of resources, would it not be possible to duplicate the "you are here" row that sits at the top? Then if I were in, say, the HIMYM forum, I would have a link back to the HIMYM forum at the bottom without having to go back to the top of the page, which is now an extra click/button press away.
