something broken with front page [Archive]

The frontpage is dead for my account in both Firefox 3.5b and IE.

All it shows is the top banner and bottom banner with no content.

I had to remove cookies and browser history just so I could get to a point where I could post this. I expect if I navigate to the frontpage after this it will continue to be blank.

Going direct to forums works fine.

After posting that image I notice you've got a typo in your information bar for resized images. Weights vs weighs.

It's something we're aware of, and something we're actively working on fixing.

Oh, and hi.

In case it helps...
Works for me in Firefox. Borked in Chrome.

Not sure if anyone is aware, but this only happens to me if I'm logged in. Works fine if I am not. Tried in Opera, Firefox and IE same thing.

That's probably because it's related to the permissions for us folks with under 25 posts, similar to the problem this morning. On the plus side, it probably will get rid of those spam posts in the forums we've been getting!

Front page is back up for me, Firefox 3 on Leopard.

I'm having the same problem. Other than deleting cookies each time is there any way to get around this? Thanks

(Sorry about the post spamming, It was getting really annoying to keep having to click on the archive link just to get to the forums from the black front page.)

Bah, apparently it's more than 25 posts needed. Oh well, guess I'll just work up to it the hard way. I hate post spamming. :p

So I need 11 more posts before I can see the front page again? Well, I guess I better start looking around for threads I can tro... er, I mean contribute constructively to.

I thought the front page was down cause you were just adding a side bar to the forums. But I still can't see it. Poor CoG newbs. :cries:

Anyone under 20 posts (I think), is it working now? Some of the permissions for the new group that should excise SPAM bots but keep actual users were not enabled.

Zonkuya

10-14-2008, 09:51 AM

Works for me now, thanks! I hope you find a way to keep the bots out but still let newcomers in.

Okay, here's a question though... are visitor messages tied into this permissions issue as well? Because I used to have the option to post them, but now it appears I do not.
