Changing your password for online forums, email accounts, etc on a regular basis is a good policy to follow.

I'm not sure if this is related or not (could be my computer?) but I have been unable to "view active topics" since this problem occurred; I click on that link and it tells me there are no posts.

Edited to say that it tells me, "There are no suitable matches found." It doesn't matter which time period I select.

PMs sit in your Outbox until the recipient opens them, then they move to Sent. So the people (or person) you've PMed haven't noticed or logged in yet.

Good to know, thanks!

The banner is redirecting me to the top page of the forums, rather than to the main C-C page, as it did in the past.

I noticed that as well. I much prefer it linking to the frontpage. I'm glad to hear that Tony's working on it. Also the banner is not centered, although that's not really an issue, and doesn't even look too bad the way it is.

Hmmm... I think it was centered, when I made my last post... Or if it wasn't centered then, something else has changed about it. It looks different today.

I still can't get the view active topics to work on any computer or mobile device. Is it just me? I really like to check that page.

^Oh good, because it's driving me CRAZY, and no one ever has acknowledged this as happening at all, which makes me feel a bit like I really am crazy. I much prefer that way of browsing, because I don't want to be limited to just the new posts, but I don't want to have to go to every category to look for new things, too. I just feel so blind.

Admins???? Help???? Please??? ;-)

Sorry, Katie, I think this is the way the forums are going to be for now. Most of the admins don't have access to the code of the forums and I'm under the impression that the difference between the old and the new is very time-consuming to find.

Ah, thank you for the information. At least it's good to know that it's not just me and that someone does know about the problem. I appreciate knowing not to expect any changes. 8)

Yes, the forums were down for a while today. They are now back and functioning. Thank you to those who helped fix the issue.
