Okay, how did you fix it?
For me I had that local Houston forum thingy, and one of the posts was always at the top of FR's main browse page.
There was a link up there to not see it every time, so I clicked on it and just got rid of the local forum completely. I was immediately able to see the quick links, and they are still there.
I can't give you better instructions because the local part is gone now, and so is the link, but just look towards the top for anything like I described.
