I bookmarked the SDMB years ago, and when it opened, there was what I thought was the home page, with the main forums. Today, for some goofy reason, it opens with a bunch of misc. questions, and can’t find any way to get to the regular old page. The only way I got here was to was to Google “Straight Dope Message Board,” and then the top hit showed the usual forums below, but if I clicked on the main one,it goes right back to the strange page. Even going here, when I get to the bottom to jump to the other usual forums, they are no longer listed. Did I inadvertently hit some wrong keys and screw up everything, or has the SD gone nuts? Or have I? Help, please. ---

I’m guessing it’ll be back by 6:00AM CDT, if not by 4:00AM (when it’s 4/2 on the International dateline and all of the U.S., respectively.) ---
