    It was brought to my attention by a new member (b_braz) that he could not see the main forum homepage that one would normally see when clicking the "Forums" link on the navigation bar at the top of the page. The page loads to the point where the "Unanswered-Not Read-My Topics-Active Topics" links show, and everything bleow that is just white blank space. I saw this myself by logging into his account (with his permission while on the phone)


    He can see the "active topics" list, and get to the sub-forums from there, but just cannot "see" the main forum page that lists all the categories. It's a really odd issue.


    This happens to him while logged in, and has been occurring since he became a member of the site on 12/9. I looked into this a bit last night and couldn't find any particular red flag that might be causing it, so I wanted to find out if this is happening to anyone else. In particular, anyone who paid their dues in person (at an event, a fest, etc) and has subsequently had their membership manually activated.


    Please report if you have also seen this occur.

    Yes this is happening to me! I'm also getting an error message "discussion forum currently unavailable". This only happens when I'm logged in. I just paid my dues, but did it online. What's going on?!

    So this started happening to you right after you renewed your membership? It was fine before?

    Yes, but I'm not sure if that's why it's happening. I can use the forum, just have extreme difficulty navigating without the menu available. I just know it happened shortly after I renewed my membership. I was able to use the forum properly for some time afterwards, but I dont know the specific time frame.

    It seamed like it happened after I accidentally hit ok to view in Tapatalk on my phone. My tapatalk app is also not showing me the discussion menu. Not sure if they're related.

    Is anyone else having issues with this? And is there anyone addressing it? It's a major PITA!

    I e-mail Joe and JB about these issues. Unless they know what is going on and can fix it quickly, I think we are going to have to just work around it.

    I don't know why the 404 issue comes up.

    This is a test post to a thread that has not been updated since the conversion. If you previously posted in this thread, you should get an e-mail alert.

    This is just a test
