You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

t Smooch...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Something very odd is happening to the board today. When I go to the home page, everything shows up except for the table cell with the threads in it. I can see the right and left sidebars, and the maroon "Discussion Threads" bar...but no threads!

The Message Center, however, is working fine.

I'm running Win2K and IE6.

[eta: If I highlight within the big white space where the threads should be, I see the two rows of asterisks]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How does you message center look?

The Message Center looks fine, and all the thread pages themselves look fine.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Just now, trying to post in Bureaucracy:

There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.

Okay, where the $$&#&(@#& are the developers?

Do you think the board is trying to tell me something about posting there?

I can't believe it took me this long to realize it, but not being able to see the threads on index.php means I can't get into any thread I'm not subscribed to. (If I knew the thread id #, I could enter it manually, but I don't have anything to click on.)

Since this will cease to be a problem in another 2 hours (unless the person I'm filling in for is a Buffista), it's probably not crucial to find the cause. But it is baffling.

Grasping at straws here, but are you in buffistas.net by mistake?

Nope. [link]

No threads. Very strange.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Have you tried clearing the cache?

Yes, I cleared out everything when I went to lunch. (Standard temping procedures.)
