It's a caching issue because that's not how the website is supposed to look. The wrong files are ending up on your machine. My first request was for you to clean out your local cache to see if the problem was in there, that didn't fix it so I cleared the CDN cache and asked you to retry to pull the latest files from there. I'm not saying it's an issue with your computer or browser.. just that there is a cache somewhere with the wrong files. It's not for you to 'fix' but by clearing your local cache in the testing it ensures that you are pulling the latest version from further upstream, Duc

It's a caching issue if ever I saw one.. the theme looks good on the devices I am testing on. I have flushed out all the region caches - try again and see if it pulls through the correct files. Duc

There's a background tasks system that does the caching for this, it's a bit overloaded with copying the files over from the backup though ? Will get better when all the files are moved. Duc

That looks like a caching issue to be honest. Can you clear down your local cache and reload the website? The file system for the website files is coming over slowly from the backup. Duc

Still need to know the details to help anyone else that gets hit by it

Which theme? Possibly a screenshot to help me out? Duc

It was recently set to member only as it was being abused. I have set some additional permissions on it so registered users with a higher post count can use it. Duc

OK themes have been restored however I have had to do it from scratch so there may be tweaks that we had made that are now lost. I am migrating all of the images over from the backup at the moment as well, this will take a considerable amount of time. Duc

Yes the redirect was affected but it should be working now. It will need to be changed as well though. Duc

Hi All, The website has had some issues for the past few days which have got worse and worse. I do not know the exact problem but it's been there for a while. The Windows updates started to refuse to install and fail followed by the whole system being sluggish even when nothing was running on it. Earlier tonight it essentially gave up completely and I was unable to restore the service. I have needed to migrate the website temporarily to a cloud provider to get some time to figure out the fix properly. It seems to be running OK at the moment. Thanks for your patience. Duc

Hi All, Just thought I would share this as it's pretty interesting I think - I have been messing around with mapping our player locations on Google Maps, this is the view of the Call of Duty and Insurgency players over the past 20 or so hours. Interestingly the Asian and Eastern European dots only really started appearing when I added Insurgency in. World View: East USA: Europe: I'm looking forward to pulling some better analytics out to see what countries prefer which games and which servers we run. Duc

I'm cool with any location, just want it to be somewhere new Duc

It wasn't tested on all the themes apparently.. *cough* @Ruggerxi *cough*

It's not real... so can't be 'cashed' out..

Personally I dislike the birthday posts because I see no sincerity. I have removed many happy birthday topics that members have made for people we have banned, people that are dead or people that have not been on the website in years. People spam a 'happy birthday' response on posts for people they do now know.. nothing 'wrong' with that but I see no point - could have just 'liked' it instead. Ah well.. does no harm I guess. Duc

Should we then dictate Steam vs Origin? what games to play? There will never be one option that pleases all you idiots......

That's a pretty good theory... The question is are the UX designers putting them in because they have already been brainwashed into thinking it's 'normal' or because they are being asked to do so?

Don't really care what members do... but you're an admin and as such you have a responsibility to protect your elevated privileges on the website and servers. We place trust in you to do that and provide security tools to help with that. You shit on that trust and promote bad practices. I have no time for people who do not take the security of our server estate seriously. Crap like this is what makes it worthwhile. Like, really.

OK so that's probably it.. if the website has no way to recognise you then in it's 'eyes' you are coming from a different device each time. No worries then it's not a bug and working as expected. Duc

OK so to confirm.. you keep logging out and then in @Hunter? Duc

Do you keep logging out and then in? If it's incorrectly reporting it provide me some additional details and I'll raise a bug with the supplier. Duc

Thought we had got rid of you x

That's a shame...

lol that's a bit shit..
