Front page is broken

[cidbahamut]

The front page is all "grrr, you're not allowed here".

WTF TM?

Also: why do we now have google advertisements in our threads?

WHAT DID YOU DO?

A - Seems to work fine here.
B - There has been google ads on on the forum for a very long time signed in users just never see them, only unregistered users.

Conclusion - are you sure you're logged in? Log out and log back in if the forum says you're logged in.

Well, you broke it, you fix it.

Re: Front page is broken

cidbahamut, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Re: Front page is broken

I have been messing with things this afternoon but nothing that should have broken the front page or inserted ads for logged in users. I'm logged in on another non-admin account right now and I'm not seeing either of these problems.

Error message that made me laugh

When you see that, what does your URL bar say? As in, what is the exact URL you're browsing to?

http://www.ffxionline.com/

Not really sure what you're getting at.

Re: Front page is broken

Delete cookies for ffxionline.com and quantserv.com

The URL was to ensure that you didn't end up at the front page via some malformed url string that had something trailing after the .com

As ex-QA I know how infuriating this sentence is, but I cannot reproduce the issue on my end.

Re: Front page is broken

Clearing cookies did not work, problem came back as soon as I logged in.

Ya, basically it seems to be a problem with the local interaction between his browser and the site, or possibly between the browser, a proxy server and the site if he's on a corporate network.

Try holding the shift key down while you hit the refresh button in the browser.

I can attest to these problems.

Re: Front page is broken

Probably that latter thing there since I'm at a new work site. I'll see if I get the same problem at home and report back in a few hours I guess.

Or Armando could come in and reproduce the issue...that works too.
