Hi. yesterday and today, I noticed that until I logged in, only SOME of the forum boards were available to view.
[None of which were interactable, of course.]

Is this a new feature ??

I was having a lot of trouble with the site last night, Mad. Not what you are describing though. Everything seems okay now for me.

Edit: Re-reading Mad's post which says before logging in. I was logged in at all times, not logged out.

I'm in the same boat as Mad with a condensed, limited view of the forum boards to view -Casual games,The trading post, Mixed Bag and Hall of fame only appear. Only if I click on active threads am I able to see today's responses in other forums. Those computer gremlins must be at it again!

All of the forum boards are showing for me. Hmm.

I was having the same issues. My login page was also way off to the left instead of center. It seems ok now

I never stay logged-in at any site. So every time I log-in I do the whole “user name and password” thing and that apples to Gameboomers too.

So it was handy to be able to just glance at the various forum boards - without actually having to log-in.

Well, I did also notice that there were more than 6,000 guests online at the time I was having trouble. Maybe a bot issue or something?

I haven't heard of any attacks on the website last night but it's possible if there were 6000 guests online. They try and bombard the server to overload it and crash the site. They aren't hacking in, they just and try and take it down. We aren't alone in that, the other adventure gaming websites have the same problem.

Mad, you could always view the forums if you aren't logged in. It's a public forum. What you can't do if not logged in is post, view profiles or get your PM's. There is no need to log out of GB, I never do. We don't store any private info here so no harm if you stay logged in.

Well, this is what I got a couple of times while trying to post something or change to a different forum. Wasn't sure if I should post it but here it is anyway:


We encountered a problem. The reason reported was:
Database error only visible to forum administrators
