Default What just changed?

I was on the forum earlier today. I accessed the webpage again and it asked me to log into the site, so I did and not the page looks different. This happened some months ago, then went back to normal. I am usually in the C3 section and also have the C3 links on the left for gen, tech, c3's for sale and c3 parts. Now it shows c5 and c6 links.

Click on the appropriate Corvette generation (c1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,c7) link under the Welcome area (upper right corner) to switch to the Corvette generation that you want.

Don't know whose idea this was, but this new design simply does not look good.

The page will look the same. What should change is the Corvette logo in the upper left corner and the links to the left. It does appear there is an issue with the links on the left.

If the Corvette logo doesn't change for you, then you have a browser cookie issue and you might want to delete the CorvetteForum cookies and revisit. Or some security software is interfering with browser cookies.

Deleted all cookies that referenced the CF and the generation selection icon is still not working.

Also very slow response time.

OK, I cleared the cookies and restarted the browser. By the way this happens with IE and Firefox. If I logon and save my logon I return to the C3 area, so logon cookie is saved. The links on the left never change no matter what I do. Also when I click on the generations below the login the corvette logo never changes.

J T Ok, The logo is changing for me, just the C3 logo does not look like a C3 logo, but I do not really care. The part that is not working still is the links to the left. My links do not change to the C3 links and you have already said there is an issue with the links.
Thanks, hopefully the link issue will be fixed soon.

Try deleting your Corvette Forum cookies and revisit the site and use the Remember me option when you log in. Yes, for some reason, members got kicked out during the upgrade process but it shouldn't (and doesn't for me) keep occurring. I do agree the site is slow and it will be looked into.

Do you see the appropriate links to the left indicating the change?

Are you sure you deleted all CorvetteForum cookies?

Doesn't work. Mine continues to show the C7 flag no matter which flag I click on. And yes, clearing cookies does not help.
