Gordon, I answered that question a week ago in a PM to you. Click on user control panel at the top (2 lines below "SMF2") and then click on the tab for private messages.

The answer is very simple. Look at the forum mainpage as reached by this link, and scroll up and down. All the usual forums are there, and are divided into to groups 'Main Wetshaving topics above, and three 'Announcement' forums below. If you want to navigate back to that page, use the link 'Board Index' at the top left and bottom left of every page here and that's where you will go and what you will see. But if you use the link 'Main Wetshaving Topics' next to it you will only see them, not the Announcement forums. Those links at the top left are actually more than just links, they also reveal that this forum you are in now - General - is in Main Wetshaving Topics and that itself is within the Board Index. The little arrows indicate that this is the case:

See what I mean?

The pop-up menu at the bottom right of each forum page doesn't let you go higher in the page hierarchy than Main Wetshaving Topics. So use Board Index, or your browsers back button or keyboard shortcut for Go Back to get back to the main page with all forums listed. And there, provided you are logged in of course, you will see the Mods and Admins forum in its usual place.

It might be possible to edit the site template a bit, but most things in the appearance are fixed in the chosen skin. The default skin that comes with each installation and upgrade of phpBB is what you're seeing here. It has the advantage of always being updated with each forum upgrade, but there are many other skins available. Some will break when the phpBB gets a minor upgrade so we had hoped to stay away from them.

PS I just looked at the template. Definitely not something for me to muck about with.

Yes, it's different. But wow, who wants it to go back like it was before? All I can say is well done Vince.

Chris, Aha!....'Board Index'....that was the ticket. I was, indeed, using the 'Main Wet Shaving Topics' link to go back to what I thought was the main face page. Thanks.
