Links to forums on front page broken?

Basically:

anything in the format http://forums.silentpcreview.com/ isn't working.
anything in the format http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/ is working.

Been like this all day...had someone else 600 miles away try it and they couldn't get through either to the first one.

Configuration error?

It's that way here too today. Looks like maybe a DNS glitch.

It has also forced me to log in on and off the last week or so instead of keeping me logged it, and intermittently loses track of the "new/unread" flag. Not sure what's happening there.

Same problem here. If you have Firefox with the Greasemonkey add on you can add this script to at least browse trouble free. It doesn't work for posting though.

Code: Select all

// ==UserScript==
// @name           spcr
// @namespace      none
// @include        http://www.silentpcreview.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
  var scriptBefore = 'forums.silentpcreview.com'
  var scriptAfter = 'www.silentpcreview.com/forums'
  var xpath = "//a[contains(@href, scriptBefore)]";
  var res = document.evaluate(xpath, document, null,
                              XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);
  var i, link;
  for (i = 0; link = res.snapshotItem(i); i++) {
    link.href = link.href.replace(scriptBefore, scriptAfter);
  }
})();

// vim: set ts=2 sw=2 et :
