Default OT: Just me or is there a new header?

A giant header now appears at the top of every RL page with "Rennlist Discussion Forums", a copy of my avatar and screen name, and a list of items to select (User CP, Inbox, My Profile, Recent Topics etc...) Anyone else getting this now or is it just me because I've inadvertently selected some previously undiscovered option?

If it's a new feature, although it has some added functionality, I have to say it's rather annoying as I have to scroll down every time I want to do anything. If it's something I've done in error, any suggestions on how to be rid of it? Or maybe it's just my innate resistance to change....

I get the same new screen too, Mike. It's not just you.

I just changed the forum skin to "Large" and it disappears.

Edit: I just realized, I renewed my membership under my old name, with zero posts. Whoops.

I thought I clicked something too. John (moderator), can you at least give us the option to not show that? I hate it.

It has one cool feature though "mark forums read". I only read a few (well a lot of) threads and like to know what is new on the threads I'm interested in.

Alright guys, jump into your "USER CP" and click "edit options." Then scroll all the way to the very bottom. You'll see a box, which should be labeled "forum skin." Click that, and either click "Large Font" or "Small Font" depending on how good your eyes are ha.

Great, that worked but it's a temp fix because the font is now too big, especially if there is a long post.

Thought maybe I was being too sensitive to change. Glad it's not just me, guys...

At the very bottom of the page there is the option to change the look in the lower left (look for the pulldown in the blue bar), swapping to large and back to small makes everything look as it did previously for me.
