Forum outage.

I was wondering.. what happened around 11AM West Coast time today? Suddenly all forums went dark, and all posts are now marked with the "yellow circle" for me.

Udayan.

They may have gone dark and all posts are now unread, but on the bright side it brought my username back from the grave! Happy

Another glitch...

Clicking on my username in the forum Welcome box takes me to the 404...the URL is non-existent.

Eventually this login component and welcome area on the forum page will be removed as we move towards using the CNET login at the top right corner of our sites.

Thanks, Lee. Ever since the current profiles were implemented I've been using that link to go to my profile and see if there are any new replies to my posts. Old habits die hard I guess, even when they're not that old. Happy
