I just noticed that too.
Keep in mind that it 'seems' that this forum was originally created to be a support function of the Ukulele Underground lessons from Aldrine, Rayan and others, and over time has taken on a life of it's own.
Lots of google search results will bring people to this
forum, and more so than to the lessons site.
The lessons site had a re-design (as per recent emails, I am a member), and by my casual observation it seems they would prefer to emphasize their 'reason for being' and that UU is an educational site first, and 'UU forums' are a sub-section, or adjunct to the primary function, and primary business model of earning income from the excellent ukulele and music lessons given there...
If you don't want to see the front page of '
http://www.ukuleleunderground.com' and be forced to scroll down and click on 'Old UU forum', one could just bookmark '
http://forum.ukuleleunderground.com' and come directly to the main UU forum index page...
Also, doing this from a device that is on a mobile data connection might save you some of your (possibly limited) download quota from not having to load the UU primary web pages.
