7. And how are people supposed to know that? At least put those instructions on the same line as Culture Forums.

but in a slightly smaller font.

Culture Forums - Click "Forum Names" heading to see the list in alphabetical order.

It'll look fine there in a slightly smaller font, maybe the same size as the "Related..." font. But it needs to be above the Related line so people can see it right away.

And it still requires more clicks, if you want to get the table back to showing most recent discussions at the top.

And skimming down a long vertical list still takes more time than locating the alphabetical listing in a few lines of text and clicking that.

The way I suggested requires one click and no scrolling to get to the forum. Your way requires two, and a third if you want to go back to most recent at the top.

On DU3, it was necessary to click on the group name for topics to see the full list, but that list was in small enough font in the sidebar that was on every page that you could find the alphabetical listing in a split-second. DU4 requires a lot of scrolling to see the full list of names.
