I can't see the main forum index.

[WindupAtheist]

Anyone else having this problem?

[Signe]

Maybe you accidentally turned it off!  I do that all the time.

Sucks to be you

[schild]

How did you make this post in the right forum?

[Signe]

Such sympathy from Admin!

[Trippy]

I know! I'm such a nice guy!

[WindupAtheist]

I see the index but there are no forums listed.  So I just click my name at the bottom, get my own profile, look at my old posts, and click General Discussion where I see it.  Clearing my cache doesn't do anything, but I can see the index when I'm logged out.

[Trippy]

Okay then I blame Ookii

Which URL are you using to view the main index page?

http://forums.f13.net/index.php  ?

[schild]

Just changed your member group, see if that fixes it.

[Trippy]

No no change him back. You need to create a new test account using his group.

[schild]

Does changing him to a regular account hurt something?

[Trippy]

He's no longer pink!

Also if it stopped working something's different. I.e. either somebody fiddled with the group settings, there's something wrong with the DB, or his browser is messed up. We should figure out which of those it is.

[WindupAtheist]

Well it didn't fix it.

EDIT:  Also, you'd better re-pink me when you're done!   

And I don't think it's my browser.  Nothing else is giving me problems.

[Trippy]

Which URL are you using?

Edit: also what happens when you use a different brower?

[WindupAtheist]

http://forums.f13.net/

I have it bookmarked, because "There's a front page?(tm)"

[Trippy]

What happens when you try this one?

http://forums.f13.net/index.php

Also try a different browser.

[WindupAtheist]

The URL you posted is still the same, no forums showing.  Also, both Firefox and IE allow me to see the forums only when I'm not logged in. 

[schild]

I'll let Trippy give you back the pink. I don't want to inadvertantly spread some kind of AIDS.

[Trippy]

Okay on the index page do you see the text "f13.net General Forums" with a triangle on the left? If so what happens when you click the triangle?

[WindupAtheist]

Okay, that worked.  But why was it collapsed?  I'm sure I didn't hit it.

PEBKAC ALERT

WINDUP IS SLEEPSURFING

[WindupAtheist]

STFU AND MAKE ME PINK AGAIN BEEYOTCHES

I DIDN'T CLICK IT

[WindupAtheist]

I DO TOO KNOW

IT'S A SERIES OF TUBES

MY OFFICE SENT ME AN INTERNET

[schild]

HUMOR IS NOT AN ANSWER.

[caladein]

Those tricksy triangles...  they're a God damn menace.

[WindupAtheist]

Maybe I don't want to be pink.  Maybe I hate pink, and asking for it is how I make sure I never have to be pink again.

[Signe]

I was right!  He accidentally turned it off! 

Also, he doesn't look right not being pink anymore.   

[Reg]

Hah I did that a few weeks ago and confused myself horribly. I'm glad I didn't publically humiliate myself over it though. 

[WindupAtheist]

If I clicked it on the way in, I wouldn't be able to get into the forum.  And it's not like I exit by backing out through the index.  This wasn't me, this was some sort of diabolical trap!   

[Signe]

I hate you all for ignoring my advice.  Except Reg.  I  Reg.

[schild]

I hate you all for ignoring my advice.  Except Reg.  I  Reg.

No one ignored your advice. Trippy has a gif stored away on his PC (as well as Samwise I believe) of that little arrow circled and a line pointing to it and the words "Click to Expand" or something like that.

WUA's description sucked balls. He could see the index, he just couldn't see the forum markers. In other words, I was right, he doesn't know how to use the internet.

[WindupAtheist]

He could see the index, he just couldn't see the forum markers.

I said that in my second post in the thread, as soon as someone asked for a description.  Durf.

[FatuousTwat]

Edit: Right after I posted this, I went back to the main index and it was collapsed without any input from me. Probably serves me right.

LOL!

We need WUA-proof the forum. I vote we remove triangles so nobody else gets hurt.
