UGLY Black Bar Displayed Across Top of All Forum Pages

As far as I can determine, there is no way for a "user" to remove the wide solid black bar that is now across the top of ALL pages -- each and every page -- which the browser displays from Forums Elder Scrolls Online. The bar seems to have been added to the forum pages some time today, Tuesday 1 August 2017, because I did not see the bar being displayed yesterday.

At the left end of the bar is a stack of three grey lines, "The Elder Scrolls Online" is centered on the bar, and "BUY NOW" is displayed in a grey field at the right end of the bar. The overall effect of the bar is that it dominates the visual field on the display screen -- separating the browser UI above from the fetched content below, for no evident reason or purpose whatsoever.

Why has this useless, ugly bar been introduced? Does ZOS believe that its customers are so stupid that they cannot identify the context for the content of the page which their browser is displaying? Maybe they have a legitimate concern, because, despite all that ZOS has done to alienate and insult the game's players, we're still paying $14.99/mo for an ESO Plus subscription.

Why doesn't ZOS remove this monstrosity?

    He obviously read the OP's post, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to point him towards the appropriate thread :-)

    OP is complaining about the new site/forum header navigation bar, specifically the version that appears on narrow screens. I linked the announcement and feedback thread for the new navigation bar so that ZOS get all feedback in one place. What's the problem here?

    I'm afraid you're the only one who sees a joke in the OP. Most of us see an excessive rant that felt so self important that it had to create its own thread. Which it probably is. Oh well...

    This bar really is a pain in the rear when you browse forums. It's like they chop off the top 10% of my screen. But, uhm, you can just block it with an adblocker or similar. Not an idea solution, but preferable to missing the top of your screen in my opinion.
