Yes, I am getting it also, I found if you click the link for this site (without the word FORUMS) it works and you get right in. If this keeps up i will change my short cut.

Good tip - thanks!

Our Tech Dept had been notified and working on the anomaly.

The root link seems to be working for now.

I ran into this yesterday but all I had to do was refresh the page and it ended up working for me.

Can we get rid of that stupid huge white box with AI suggestions that shows up right smack dab in the middle of someone's post? The ad blocker won't stop it.

I’ve had the issue for the past couple of days. It seems to be working fine now.

Given the technology and stack (vBulletin, Xenforo, etc) is quite old and the UIX is rough on a good day be glad that it runs at all.
