A better explanation - the menu hamburger dropdown, upper right of the page, used to show all the categories (Factual Questions, IMHO etc.). Very simple and very handy for navigation. No matter where you where in a thread, you could pop over to a different category.
That ‘hamburger’ drop down menu is still there, but missing the quick short cut to all categories. All the categories used to be listed on the drop down. This happened a few days ago.
There is an all categories link that takes you all the way back to the front page. I’ve tried to change it back, but it won’t do it. I never changed anything in the first place.
Is this a Discourse change?

Before the binge, the hamburger menu showed what it had always shown (number of new threads, number of unread threads, number of messages, and a couple of other things. Now it’s showing two categories: Community and Messages. And the choices underneath those two categories are not all that helpful. What happened? Better question: how do I get it back to the old useful way?

Since this is already being discussed in the Site Feedback thread that @crowmanyclouds linked to, let’s go ahead and close this.
