In a coffee shop.
Just a heads-up to let staff (and anyone else who may have been affected by this), but, this afternoon, when I attempted to access the forums, (the rest of the the site was fine), I received a message informing me that I was unable to access the forums as: "403 Error Access Denied Forbidden".

This state of affairs lasted for at least half an hour.

Obviously, this is no longer the case, as I am now able to access the forums, - although they are clunky and take time to load - but I thought that I ought to flag it, not least, in case anyone else has experienced something similar.

Yes, the forums were down for the better part of three hours due to a software update that didn't go as smoothly as we'd hoped. The front page was affected for some of that time and still appears to be having some intermittent issues but is mostly back to normal.

I think it's mostly under-the-hood and security changes.

Ya we just bumped Xenforo with bug fixes and security. Next we have a slightly bigger upgrade but not ready yet.

Interestingly, https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com correctly worked out that the forums were down.

https://down.com saw the 403 error page and decided that was enough to say the site was perfectly fine. So,forget using this one in future.

As for FOUC, yeah, me too. Firefox/MacOS. Trashing cookies (and re-logging in) didn't help.

Me too, on both the above. I don't see the FOUC on Safari, only Firefox.

Me three, but on Chrome.
 
This is *really* minor, so I figured I wouldn't start a new thread, but on Safari using my 15 Pro, the user icons to left of the posts when viewing a New Posts list (but occurs on any list view) seem to be encroaching on the text a bit. I'm pretty sure this behavior didn't exist prior to the update. Unfortunately I'm at work and didn't bring my MBA on this trip, otherwise I'd test MacOS as well:

I was getting the same, earlier today.

Was in the middle of an Upton Sinclair-esque response when the turtles stopped crawling-down.

Took that as a sign to spend my time focusing-upon house-duties (Oh! The Productivity!) ;)

I'm seeing this whether on mobile [Google Chrome] or desktop [Google Chrome] and this seems to have started after the recent upgrade...
