Testing in Production? Noticed a Tiny Glitch on the MoT Site

Today, while navigating through Ministry of Testing, I observed that the “Club” link seems to be missing from the top navigation bar. :face_with_monocle:

However, when I manually enter https://club.ministryoftesting.com, it redirects perfectly — so the Club is still active and accessible.

This might be a minor UI issue on the
landing page, possibly due to a recent update. Sharing this here in case others faced the same and to help the MoT team spot and resolve it quickly.

Huge thanks to the MoT team for continuing to build such an incredible community for software testers! :clap::purple_heart:

Yes, I saw it as well and was a bit confused by this behavior. Thanks for raising this.
Also, there is a category for Site Updates & Feedback - The Club: Software Testing & Quality Engineering Community Forum | Ministry of Testing
Is it possible to link it to this category?

The Club link being removed is not a bug, but more a feature, or as per design (:sweat_smile:). Though we do appreciate the feedback, because it was also an experimental product test on our end—the space in the top navigation is limited, and we wanted to raise awareness of Memories to the MoTaverse, so we swapped it out with ‘Club’ as an experiment.

A few people have noticed and reported the change, we’ll leave it as it is for a short while before making a decision to keep it as it is, revert it back, or something else.

I hope that helps.

Are you tracking navigation?

Rather than start typing minis… in address bar to get to the site I now type club… to go direct which in turn might mean I miss out on and bypass some other good stuff.

wdym you guys don’t have a completely different tab for The Club… :sweat_smile:
Just kidding!

I suppose a logo representing The Club link is too redundant to be placed in the top navigation bar? :thinking:

If you bypass the MoTaverse homepage you’re definitely missing out on stuff. :blush:

We are tracking things, and also trying different ways to promote stuff.

For example, we just released a ‘create’ button on the homepage.

Ah just noticed that too, I reverted to the web search engine to get to the club, the day is only so long
