Spy redirects to forums.macrumors.com

[r.j.s]

This morning, I have had an issue where Spy will not load, instead forums.macrumors.com will load with the address of spy.macrumors.com.

When this happens, any link I click gives me an error because it has the prefix of spy. e.g. spy.macrumors.com/usercp.php

Anyone else?

I've also had that but found the forum spy loaded at the second attempt.

I just had this happen to me too.

It seems like it is mods only so far reporting this issue

Same here, even after resetting Safari, clearing cache and cookies. Using my bookmark for Spy works, just not the link on the toolbar above. It's intermittent.

Same here. It was also happening intermittently last night while I was at work.

Same problems for me, also logging in is a bit haphazard as well.

Additional note: when this happens, if I click on the "User CP" link, I get this:

instead of this:

I wonder if fixing one thing broke another. Now I'm getting duplicate entries in Forum Spy:

and when composing posts, attachments aren't showing properly:

Can you clear your browser cache and see if it's still happening?

I've tried that 3 times, logging out of MR, clearing cache and cookies. Still happening.

Edit: I just did it again. Logged out of MR. Manually cleared all cookies, cache and history. Quit Safari. Relaunched and logged back in. Here's the result:

Arn, even while logged out, the problem remains. This is while I was logged out:
