Some things still aren't working. Some pages I get the 404 Not Found error. I'm using Chrome on a Mac.

I'm glad though things seem to be on the mend.

Yup, Working much better. I was beginning to wonder wether I was doing
something wrong...

Many thanks to the admins and tech staff for your hard work on getting the website up and running again. It was a semi-painful absence but most including myself survived it.
Now,lets all relax and enjoy Labor Day!

Yay - great to have the board back at last!

B.

P.S.
I think I get to say a great big 'I told you so' - look at the URLs, the admins have done exactly what I recommended:

I'm 90% sure the problem is simply that URL re-writing is misconfigured. The real URLs for posts on sites like this all end in icky query parameters like ?thread=13445. To make the URLs look prettier (and be ranked higher in search results), it's common practice to implement URL re-writting to transform icky URLs with question marks and equals signs and all that glop into pretty ones with the names of things and without icky symbols. The URL re-writting happens between the request arriving on the web server and the web server fulfilling the request. I.e. the web serving part of the web server always sees the true URLs, or at least it should, and right now it seems it isn't hence so many links being utterly broken.

Assuming I'm right, the short-term fix is trivially simple - disable URL re-writting and make-do with the true URLs until the web server configuration can be fixed. I.e. change one setting in the admin control panel and let us all get back to using the forum, viewing ads, and generating revenue for the site owner!

Here's the relevant docs: https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/options_seofriendly_urls

It seems everything is working fine now (I am using IE 11)...
A great sigh of relief... for me especially: I was terrified since I have witnessed the sad demise of many great gay blogs over the years...
My gratitude to the tech guys and the administrators...
Please always be there for us

I think there are still a few bugs to be worked out. I find myself unable to access the last page on a few threads...
