This thread is about an error with the AG3 Forum. All the pages show the same content, which is incorrect. Why would this happen to the forum?

There is a new problem with the forums (the current one has not gone away). The lock and sticky icons are white spaces, which makes the forum look weird when it includes stickies and locked threads.

You must be seeing something I'm not, or it was just a temporary glitch that somehow either fixed itself or was fixed in the process of fixing the current ongoing problem that they somehow failed to fix.

Apparently some users can still successfully access the other pages of certain sub-forums, because there are different (but not newly created) threads on the first page of the Tavern.

I'm going to venture a guess that this glitch is a result of the new addition of the green Feedback tab on the left side of the page. Either way, it's pretty convenient, because now we can all contact the admins about this very issue.

I thought I'd try and fool the forums by manually typing in the link to page 2 of the tavern instead of clicking to get there... obviously, that backfired and now I can only view the SECOND page of the tavern! =P

If you go to the page you want, click on one of the thread links, then go back and refresh, you get the page you wanted.

No. The forum error occurred before there was a feedback tab.

Not all forums are affected by the error at one time.

Still no word from the Admins or Mods? This glitch is extremely annoying, and makes the forum almost impossible to use. Do the Admins not check the forums anymore? Too busy making games or something?

That's probably the case. It took them a full day to realise the forums were disabled, and thanks to us sending them emails.

Oh wait, the issue resolved itself. It wouldn't show any stickied threads.

that is a completely different problem than what we're talking about, the solution to that problem is to hard refresh (control + F5) and you should see your thread/reply

Nonetheless, it's possible that some coding got fudged up in the process on adding the feedback tab.

What it seems like the admins are trying to do, though, is find a way to get the stickies to the top of every page rather than just the first one. If this is the case, it's a waste of coding. Nobody is going to read the stickies no matter where they are.

Not all forums are affected by the error at one time.


Speak for yourself. I can't access the second page of any subforum at any time. I had to use the forum search to find this thread because it wasn't on the first page.

I have a problem with the forum to. When I click the Video games section there are no stickies. Just normal topic's. And even worse. It is stuck at 26 July 2012.
I can't see any posts after that.

Happened to me as well. Hard refresh (CTRL + F5) a few times.
