Baller drewski32 Posted January 16, 2015 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2015 For the past two days, nearly every time I go to the forum I see a page saying "Were you looking for the forum? Now might be a good time to go to the home page." I assume this is some kind of error message. While sometimes I can view the main forum page, I get this message every time I try to open and view a thread. I'm using Chrome. Any idea what's going on?

Baller klindy Posted January 16, 2015 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2015 The back button doesnt work anymore either. You have to go back up to the top of the page and click "Discussions" to go back to the index. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUNKEE Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Funny, I like your sense of humour @Horton. Maybe your humour is better suited to Australian minds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller klindy Posted January 16, 2015 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2015 I just had to log in again and when I first entered the site I got the "were you looking for the home page" message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted January 16, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 16, 2015 Grrr yea the log in I understand. As for the bad link I am not sure. Please clear your cache and let me know. Hope I do not have to dig deeper. Blame the Apple guys for sending me down this path.

Administrators Horton Posted January 16, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 16, 2015 I have an idea to back track the current issue but it might be worse so give it after you guys clear your cache let me know.

Administrators Horton Posted January 16, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 16, 2015 @PUNKEE I have had my share of XXXX, Tooheys, Victoria Bitter, Crown Lager, West End Draught, Melbourne Bitter, Red back and some of that Fosters crap.

PUNKEE Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 No self respecting Aussie ever drinks Fosters @Horton, but the Brits seem to love the stuff. I am a dark rum man myself, the spiced rum's are gaining momentum here though. Keep up the good work, I like satire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller xrated Posted January 16, 2015 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2015 And here I thought it was just Horton trying to get me to read the homepage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LeonL Posted January 16, 2015 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2015 @xrated, me too. I thought it was just an encouragement to view the home page, and I complied. Everything went OK from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MISkier Posted January 16, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted January 16, 2015 It kind of looks like a hacker changed the "forum" portion of the URL to "baller-forum" and then redirected to "forum" URL to that new page with the message on it. But, I did notice that clicking on "FORUM" link at the top of that message page seems to map to the "baller-forum" URL necessary to open the real forum directly. This change probably affected everybody's favorites link to the forum and any of their bookmarked threads that they review for tips, etc. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.

Baller ToddL Posted January 16, 2015 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2015 @Horton the issue has something to do with how individual thread links are generated by the site/software. For example, while viewing the list of topics on the main forum page, I can right-click on a topic and select open in a new window/tab. When I do this, I get the following URL which doesn't work and displays the "error" message page about being a good time to look at the home page. http://www.ballofspray.com/forum#/discussion/12445/15-gates (I experienced the same behavior when clicking on search results.) However, if I am on the main forum page and simply click on the same topic, the system creates a different URL which works: http://www.ballofspray.com/baller-forum#/discussion/12445/15-gates The difference is in the first element after the first / forum# vs. baller-forum# The "baller-forum#" one works. If you can figure out why the search results and right-click actions are generating the bad URL, then you can probably fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted January 16, 2015 Baller Share Posted January 16, 2015 @ToddL We have been changing a few URLs over the past few weeks. This is just a byproduct of cache ect. @Horton should have a new one republished in the next 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
