Mobile view issues for Helphub
The mobile view homepage for the helphub has issues, due to the large space that’s taken by the blue search section.

According to Mel Choyce, every instance of the blue banner is a different code base. If you have thoughts on this, please leave your comments here or in the ticket for this issue.
