Oh wow...
It's like the hack a couple of years ago here on the Watch again.

If I go in to my history, I can get to the individual threads, possibly ever the individual forums (haven't tried that yet). But the Index page is what is coming up White Screen of Death...

~*~edit~*~

ayeup, the individual forums come up for me as well, at least the ones I can get to from the threads in my History. But, still no Index page...

Well, Vain did say he might be changing/moving stuff around.

For The Hangar?
I thought that was potentially for The Watch?

I thought you meant KW. Anyway, I'll try the Hangar again tomorrow. Would be a shame if the Hangar really did get hit by a hack again, but I still think it's just Vain fiddling around.

A couple times now, I've gotten a serious virus alert when I've gone to the Backup Watch. Norton doesn't agree. But the BW window closes, popups scream at me, and it starts scanning my computer. Even if it's just a hoax, it's a relatively elaborate one.

danlo, you're bringing up the Hangar's Index page?
The White Page of Death is still happening here on the Index page, though I can get to each forum and thread individually by going into History.

I'll try IE next, and see if it is a Firefox thing for me.

Fist, I had that happen on the backup forum once; scared the heck out of me. I think I may have rolled my cursor over a link on the site unexpectedly, but it has only happened one time so far.

*nodding*

Index is coming up on IE for me, still not on Firefox...

~*~edit~*~

Oh wow, amend that!!

The Index page came up for me on IE when I was logged out.
As soon as I logged in, I got The White Page of Death again...?

The virus alerts are probably from the ad hosting sites.

^^ What Murrin said, assuming it's your own virus program screaming at you. Just adblock the forum, it'll probably take care of it.

As for the Hangar, I've had no problems.

Still can't see the main Hangar page. We run Internet Exploder here at work and I have Firefox at home, so I don't think it's browser-related.

Vain said he was likely going to have to migrate the Watch to the updated software. The Hangar is already using that version.

I haven't been able to get anything other than a blank white page from my bookmark, and I use Safari. Only the link that Menolly gave this morning got through to make my pick for tonight's game.

I wonder if the people who've been able to get the main Hangar page to load are pulling it up from their -- what's it called? the cache? Pulling the page from the last time you were there, is what I'm trying to say.

Yeah. Wouldn't be able to post if it was just the cache, and I can. Will drop Vain a mail if it persists. Just post here if you're still having the prob tomorrow.

I'm still not getting the Hangar. Refreshing does nothing.
