[SOLVED] Forum link on main Web site

All of a sudden, a few days ago, the link to these forums on the Netrunner Web site stopped working. The link is “http://forums.netrunner-os.com” and it takes me to a blank page. If I add “/index.php” to the end of the URL, it works OK. Can anyone else reproduce this?

Later … I’ve just discovered if I click the “Forums” link at the top of these forums, that also takes me to a blank page.

No, the link works; brings me here. ( http://forums.netrunner-os.com/ )

That’s odd because if I click on the link in your post, I get a “404 Not Found” :huh:

@roadrunner:
Try again, the link had the “)” still there…
I see nothing wrong with the links at forum or wordpress.

I’m now getting the blank page.

Looks like this could be a routing issue.

very odd…you mean a general routing issue or just on your side?
How do you post messages then here? :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: I think it’s simply a browser cache thing since we switched servers overnight to EC2, so cleaning your cache or cookies should solve it…

I’ve just cleared my browser cache and that’s fixed it, thanks :smiley:
