Lately noticed a lot of people complaining about this, it hasn't happened to me until now. Took some screenshots to show admins what's up.

As you can see in this image, my memeber number has been changed in the URL and redirected me to a 404 Error page. After returning to the forums, this occurred:

The above images shows a few things. Take notice that I am on the forums and not home page, as shown in the URL. Also, take note that next to my quick links, I am prompted to upgrade my membership, as we can all see, I am an Elite member and have been for a little over a year now. Also, the final thing I'd like to note, is that the ShoutBox is missing. I was not prompted that I require 25 posts to see it, it is completely gone.
Now, it isn't all bad, I figured out a quick fix for members whom need some quick help in the ShoutBox or are too impatient to wait for an administrative fix or too lazy to clear their cache and cookies as suggested by most members. Simply go over to your user name, allow the drop menu to come up and click "Control Panel" or you can type this into your address bar:
I hope this is resolved soon and my quick fix helps some members out and is actually function-able for all users to use.
EDIT: This is a really quick edit, but I believe the entire Forums URL is bugged :p
I posted this and went back to the SB and noticed at the top it said Login|Register and the ShoutBox was still there. So I'm not sure if this is helpful at all, but I imagine after that deface, the settings got screwed up in their entirety. Sorry if this seems spamy, but I'm trying to help ensure the complete restoration of the site :yes:
