Forum Redirects?
I've had this issue a few times and I'm not sure where to put it:
Occasionaly I click "back" or a link to a forum thread and get redirected to what appears to be a BS Microsoft site claiming the forum does not exist. I'll try and grab a screenshot and link the next time it happens.

Re: Forum Redirects?
There's been a couple of occasions where I've clicked on something and it comes up "page unavailable" or something, but if I go back and click on it again there's no problem.

Re: Forum Redirects?
Haven't seen that one. I've gotten a "site unavailable" message after submitting a post, but usually the forum has taken the post and I end up having to delete a duplicate after re-submitting.

I haven't noticed any abnormalities at all.

I've had a similar problem with the back button where it just shows up as the page I was viewing before I hit the back button. As in I stay in place but the back button thinks I went back.I've had this issue a few times and I'm not sure where to put it:

Re: Forum Redirects?
Come to think of it, I have noticed at times that that forum doesn't load fully. That is, the page will load normally, but only to halfway down the length of the forum index. I'll get a screen the next time it happens. (Browser = Firefox)

Ditto, with IE. I just hit refresh and it sorts itself.Captain Picard's Hair wrote:Come to think of it, I have noticed at times that that forum doesn't load fully.

Re: Forum Redirects?
Noticed that once or twice myself. I'm also with Firefox, and hitting refresh fixes it.

Yes, reloading the page fixes it.

At least I know it's not just my computer anymore. I was worried there was something wrong with it. {sigh of relief}

Microsoft released an update to windows to fix a problem with DNS and that has caused major issues breaking quite a few valid addresses from time to time.

What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I lost an aunt and a grandmother to cancer. That's not real funny.

Yeah and I lost my Mum to it. While an obvious hyberbowl it shows my deep hatred for mircosoft.
