ahmz Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 In the past few hours I've been re-directed to a Neowin 404 page after clicking a link on the forum, even the forum index. Sometimes it redirects me to neowin.net/forum/install/index.php. Also, when those problems occur, clicking a link on the neowin frontpage takes me to a blank page.

It happened for a second time just now due to me fixing the cause of the earlier issues, for which a temporary work around was put into place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted October 28, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted October 28, 2008 I think the forum is undergoing some changes... or preparations for the next big upgrade. A lot of weird things seem to be going on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maplecookie Veteran Posted October 28, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 28, 2008 Sorry, last I checked (this morning) we didn't have a good explanation as to what happened and we really don't want to pass rumors or misinformation onto you guys. We had some glitches earlier today yes, but we seem to be fine now so hopefully we stay up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're added all the time, you just can't see them. I can :shifty: Usually when the forum goes down, we come back to a special announcement introducing a new feature or something.. I think the forum members are more on the edge of their chairs then anyone else, over a forum skin :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
