Something up with the board?

The go to new post link for the “Soccer:MLS…” thread in The Game Room is this

https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=849055

which takes me to the “Synecdoche” thread in CCC.

The main thread link is

https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=849055

so the threadid is the same, and it goes where expected.

Am I just imagining this?

There’s some weirdness right now that the powers that be are aware of and are actively trying to resolve.

We think it’s fixed, and I’ve tested a couple of things and they do seem to be fixed. If anyone is still having issues, please let us know, thanks.

Quote feature working. Was the problem exterrestrial in nature?

In the IMHO there’s a thread titled something like “Girls not sexually attracted to mens bodies” but it opens the longstanding “Bakers Dozen” thread.

I’ve cleared cache & closed/reopened Tapatalk. It’s definitely malfunctioning.

I just tried to use Search and it went to a blank page. I tried again and still got the Must Wait message like it had done something. I just can’t see whatever that something was. Yes, I checked my No Script settings. They wouldn’t come up right on that page either. WTH?

The search engine here just does stuff like this from time to time. Depending on what browser you are using and the way you have it configured (noscript, ad blockers, etc) you can either end up with a blank screen or possibly an error code. There are certain words that the search engine just doesn’t like. Your symptoms are typical for someone who accidentally stumbled across one of these search terms that makes the search engine fail.

I tried a few random searches and the search function seems to be basically working.

well now the page 3 link for that train wreck goes insistently to page 2, which at least is the same thread? but i can’t get access to the last page of content no matter how i try to get to it.

iphone, updated to whatever POS (scuse me Ios) 11.fuckit we’re on now, no adblockers, no tapatalk.

The search screen comes up blank for me on Safari - two iOS devices, a MacBook and Explorer on Windows 7. The last gives an HTTP 500 error.

An ad blocker on IOS iPad only. Search term is ‘dirty money’.

I tried it and “money” seems to be the term that the search engine doesn’t like. I can search for “dirty” on its own but any search involving “money” fails, including just “money” on its own with no other terms. I tried “finance money”, “funny money”, “refund money” and just “money” and all failed.

Now that is a bug. I used to love those, even if hurt my forehead with a solid smack as I got to the cause.

Is it my work computer or something else?
I’m seeing ads pop up at the bottom of the screen even when I’m logged in.

It only happens on my work computer. Nevermind.
