I usually handle flags on my way back home, when I'm either walking or taking a cab. However, today, on my way back I noticed that the moderator flag queue was not present.

This is how it was shown:

(ignore the black block, it is the list of questions from teams)

I would free-hand-red-circle the issue, but there is no moderator queue present to do so.

The moderator queue is usually not shown if the queue is empty. Therefore I assumed that the queue was empty, which is a bit surprising on a Friday evening.

However, the queue had some 100+ flags. The flag queue was not displayed because the "Products" menu takes a lot of space.

Can we get the moderator flag queue back on the top bar?

    I can repro it on a Sony Xperia with firefox and chrome. I do have the chicken-friendly versions. Maybe that's why. Commented Jun 21, 2019 at 18:28
  • I had trouble repro'ing this, and found you have to scroll down to the bottom of the mobile site and tap on "Full Site" in the footer. Commented Jun 21, 2019 at 18:55

    @Bergi I was thinking the same thing, he might walk into a pole. ;) Commented Jun 22, 2019 at 21:55

    There's a bigger question here: What secret thing were you looking at that required you to have an incognito browser window open? Actually, don't answer that... ;) Commented Jun 24, 2019 at 11:44

Just pushed a change to hide the Products link for moderators at the smallest breakpoint unless you’re on a product page. Phew!

    There's also one more part to this - regular users can't see the help center button or review queues on small enough screens. Commented Jun 22, 2019 at 10:56
  • Yeah, both the review and help link flow “out” on small screens. Except that there is no place where they appear instead. Why is the product link getting this importance? It’s also the only link that is text on small screens which makes it waste a lot of space.. Why can’t the products link be moved to the left navigation which appears to be made for exactly this use case? Commented Jun 24, 2019 at 11:26

    Why is the Products link even there? Why does it have precedence over actually important navigation? meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/386293/… Commented Jun 24, 2019 at 22:35

    @Aaron Can we hide this Products link at small screens all together. It breaks a lot of the UI. Commented Jul 2, 2019 at 13:32
