Front Page Main news = Software/Gamer news?

[DaveLegg Developer]

Hi and hello.

For two or three days now I am getting exactly the same content on the main page as on the software page. I've tried flushing cache, reloading, using other computers... no difference. It clearly loads the main page (color scheme is correct), but the news are the ones from the software page.

So... now what ? :blink:

If using the selector at the bottom of the page doesn't resolve it, can you post a screenshot of the page as you see it?

This is what I see. Just started this evening.

After pressing the "Show selected" button it finally showed the main news again, that did the trick. I reloaded the page and (at least for now) it keeps showing the main news on the main page. I'll keep checking on this. Shouldn't have happened in the first place, no ?

We offer a lot of options on how to customize the front page (many of which are probably unknown to the majority of our visitors). Unfortunately an errant click can do some weird things.

I don't know why, I've cleared the cache and cookies, but the front page only shows software news even when I click on main. Anyway to fix this?

go down to the buttom of the page and there should be a dropdown box to set it from memory

[lerum]

That box doesn't work, it keeps changing back to "All" after the page is refreshed for me, yes cleared cache etc..

Enable javascript.

Enable javascript.

Its always enabled. :(

Thanks.

Since today, when I enter into www.neowin.net i can't see the main news, instead it shows the software news, and when I click on main news, again it shows the software news :blink: ...

Sorry if my english is not very good but I'm doing my best on it...

[JodyWatts]

not confirmed. Works as it is supposed to here ... Firefox and IE7

[DrivenDaily]

I had that problem yesterday...I cleared the cache in the browser and everything seemed normal again...

[Fred Derf Veteran]

Clear your cache, enable Javascript and set the drop-down box in the bottom left to "Main".

A couple days ago I notices that Neowin is "behaving" strangeon my computer. I don't seem to be get to mainpage news anymore, instead I get the software news, but in blue site colors.

I put up a screenshot on my site, feel free to check for yourself. This only happens in Opera. (v 9.10 most recent), wkile in IE everything is fine.

To the left is the opera, bugged neowin, to the right is the normal neowin in IE.

Anyone who has had the same experience or can explain how to get the normal frontpage back?

For I a can live with that, even if I am very fond of reading the news on neowin on a regular basis. But it's really irritating in the long run.

:-D

Cheers.

Clear your cookies or select "Main" from the box in the bottom left corner.

"It's a feature."

We really need a topic like this stickied...

Thanks Fred, I can finally stop shouting at the screen each time I see one of these threads :)

[Simon Veteran]

lol, now all we need is a banner that says CLEAR YOUR COOKIES AND YOUR CACHE!!!!!

Then, we can reduce DaveLegg to a hamster/gerbill feeder, and use the money that is usually paid to him to buy another server :p

Mine was set to main but I changed it and put it back to main, now all is working fine!

Thanks Fred, I can finally stop shouting at the screen each time I see one of these threads :)

The trouble is a lot of people don?t read pinned threads... well I don?t seam to anyway... it?s the same thing there over and over and you just get used to ignoring them... then when one is added/removed I don?t n:whistle:whistle: I was just about to post about this but I somehow noticed this topic.

I say it's a bug. Every time it happens, I clear my neowin cookies, which fixes it temporarily, but it happens again and again. Using FF2.

[JorgeIvan]

frontpage news are down O_O

[Slimy]

Dave fixed it ;) (my suspicions are he broke it first)
