Forum glitchs

I have been seeing an intermittent problem with the Cnet equivalent of a 404 page coming up when returning to a forum index.

I sent a message via the support link on the error page when this last occurred.

e.g.
http://reviews.cnet.com/5200-7598-0.html?forumID=51

for this forum

The problems can usually be worked around, however, I now have forums that are latched into all discussions read. I think that this occurred after erroring out after using "Mark all discussions as read" on the forum.

e.g. The browsers forum, which is very active at the moment, never shows any unread discussions or messages.

Will clearing all Cnet cookies will fix this symptom?

Right now only critical problems with the forums are being fixed due to the *new* Cnet forums being in the testing phase and expected to replace these ones in the coming weeks. The combination of new servers and new software seems to be resoling the current problems quite well and I must say they are really looking good.

Looking forward to it.

I'll be quiet.

Till then. Wink
