Oddness with number-of-people-viewing

Every time I go to the main messageboard screen, where you can see how many people are browsing the different forums, exactly the same number are in each forum. 102 in general, 30 in D&D rules, 29 in Story Hour...

I hit refresh and it never changes.

Am I going mad?

The main index, you mean? (I.e., http://www.enworld.org/forums/index.php)

If so, that's curious - 'cause the screen ain't there any more.

Have you already (i.e., since the move) logged out, cleared your cookies, used the new board address (see above), and logged in again?

That's odd. That's the screen that comes up when I click "messageboards" from the www.enworld.org homepage. It certainly looks like it's still there to me! The link you posted was even gray-ed out, indicating I've been there recently.

Now that I look closely, all the topics it shows are old too... It's looking like I'm viewing an archived version of the page. But why would it keep coming up when I try to refresh the page?

And if that page no longer exists, where is the new main forum page? Where are you supposed to go when you click "messageboards" from the home page?

Fixed it.

For some reason, I had to do a forced-refresh (crtl-F5) to load the current version of that page.

Weird.

Hm. enworld.org gives me http://www.enworld.org/forums/index.php when I click on 'message boards' - i.e., the same address I linked to above.

Which it should do; that's the new address...

After the board move, did you log out, clear your cookies, make sure to use the new board address (see above), and log in again?
'cause we had some refresh problems in the beginning.
