What happened on Straight Dope since yesterday? I noticed there are only new threads, and no numbers of pages. If I was banned I wonder why?

They’re preparing to replace the TRS-80 with an actual server. This process is expected to take years, not to mention millions of dollars and thousands of lives.

There’s some weird caching thing going on.  
If you refresh your page, you’ll see that the threads update.

Moved from GQ to ATMB.

I’ll allow those more knowledgeable than I to explain the technical issues. But it appears we have become unstuck in time.

It’s really, really screwed up today. Some forums are only showing threads dated from yesterday. Refresh and the current threads show. Then only yesterday threads again.

Sob. No SDMB today. 😉

Refreshing the browser as you read threads fixes the problem. But it needs refreshing very frequently.
