We don’t get CQ this evening!

Just kidding. I noticed it, too, though.

OhMyGod you’re right! I was going to be a smart-aleck and post a link to the GQ forum, and it’s gone! :eek:

However, you can pick it from the drop-down list at the bottom of a forum page.

Now it’s disappeared from the drop-down list too. Is the SDMB slowly being swallowed by a black hole?

Yeah, GQ (as opposed to the CQ from my earlier post) seems to have disappeared from all the list. I was going to search for something, and it isn’t in the search list either.

Still gone, as of 6:22.

(Maybe OpenTopic might be a good move afterall. . .)

Also, the clock is off by an hour.

It’s 5:24 Central Daylight Time.

Please, please do not use alternative methods to get into GQ. If the techs removed it from the main forum display, we can assume they have a reason. Please allow them to complete their work.

**Manhattan** , the people that are already in the forum are posting as if nothing is wrong. Shouldn’t the forum be shut down completely if there is something wrong with it or it is being worked on?

Just a question. If you say not to go there then have **Tuba** kill these links.

S’OK, **Jim B**. I appreciate you looking out for the good of the forum. When we have problems like this, everybody has to work together.
