Default Off Topic Forum Down?

Strange--I can get to every forum except Off Topic. It just kicks me to the the main directory each time. I can get to PR&C no problem.

IT used to refer to forums by their forum numbers.
Now it refers to them by name.

Because there is a category called Off-Topic, when you click on the Off-Topic link within the Off-Topic category you end up in a loop.

I'm sure they will fix this oversight soon.

Hopefully they go back to the numeric forum indicators... I browse by changing the forum number, not by the awkward pop out menu.

Well for example, the old off topic forum number was 26

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=26

Which would show up in the address bar up top

I know the numbers to the forums i like.

For example, 103 is c5 general. 10 is car care. 20 is audio.

So I would erase the 26, replace it with 103 and hit enter.

I'm looking for Off Topic, not C5, so 103 does me no good.

As I said, it is forum 26. But as I also said, they did away with numbering

Yep, it's down for me too.

Also, clicking any forum shortcut on my desktop gives me access to the forum, but only to an error page. Clicking links on the left side of the page gives similar results.

I did use the link to send a message to the administrators.

What's really weird is it appears it's not down for everyone, as there are posts as late as 6:00 pm, if you check main directory.
