It is, I can't get on the .com site now and despite what Joe has said the .co.uk site is still very different and still doesn't work properly and with this new updated software I keep losing the ability to post for a seemingly random amount of time.Hi Mousemonkey, can you please be more specific on
- the differences you see between the US and the UK sites
- what prevents you from posting, and how we can try to reproduce any issue you have
That will help a lot

Old forum .com site

Up until a few minutes ago I was seeing this :-

And when I cant post I see this :-

I had access to the mod section a couple of minutes ago so if that holds up I'll post a bug list over there with the rest of the chaps.

Just to be sure, can you try to log-in in stealth mode (Ctrl+SHIFT+P) and see if you have the same problem? This is weird on Firefox, I'm thinking on a cache issue or maybe a plugin.

I finally got my conformation email a little while ago and the posting issue seems to have gone away, I might try that stealth mode thing later though.

Hi
I have tried .com and get this >>>>
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies.
I can only get to .co.uk (I am in the UK by the way)
When I try www.tomshardware.com it fails with the above message and the url changes to
http://www.tomshardware.com/community/reconnect?referer...
Hope this helps...
Uk site is a little buggy, but US totally unavailable to me...and yes I have totally cleared cache etc
Using Firefox 19

wow wow I'd recommend that you delete all cookies from tomshardware.com and tomshardware.co.uk and you try again. It seems there's something buggy in the connection process. Were you part of the beta?

Hi
I DID clear all cookies etc from both browsers FF and IE ....
Not part of BETA , but I was a Moderator until a couple of weeks ago...
I have also tried it from various different machines in the Computer shops I own and get PRECISELY the same result and error...
If I try .com I get that error from ANYWHERE/ANY MACHINE...
If I try .co.uk the site works although the sign in doesn't work although once in a sub section it recognises me lol...
That applies in any browser..I have even totally reset IF and FF ... same result... weird... lol
All the best Brett

Hey there Brett,Are you doing anything funky with your hosts file, by chance? I remember back to when some of the mods edited their hosts file to prevent the .co.uk redirects - just want to make sure you weren't in that batch.

Hi Joe
Yes, I WAS one of those (that altered the hosts file) and on this machine (home) its still in the hosts file.... BUT NONE of my shop machines have the altered hosts file and I still get that error on ALL of them as soon as I try .com.... but not .co.uk...
SHOULD they both work if in the UK ?
All the best Brett

Hello again, I also have another issue i want to address. One day prior to moving new forum, i checked my badges and i'm quite confident i had 102 homebuild best answers, and after new forum i have only 62 total, and some of those badges i didn't even earn like gaming and applications - i've never left a single message in those two forums let alone got best answer.
