Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

I've noticed something a little weird happening lately. Every once in a while, when I click a link, it will take me to the front page, instead of wherever I had planned on going. (or doing whatever I had wanted it to do)

At first, I just thought that I was losing my mind, and that I had clicked the home page without realizing it. But now it's happened two times that I can remember specifically, and I think a few more than that.

The first time, I thought I had clicked the link to the septagon on the list to the right. And there is no link to the front page anywhere near that link. The second time (which just happened, and is why I'm writing this), I was trying to quote someone, but was redirected to the front page.

So I'm wondering if this has been happening to anyone else. I've never noticed it before, and I don't remember anyone mentioning it anywhere. So I guess I'm just trying to make sure that it really isn't an issue with my sanity (or with my computer, somehow).

On the bright side, it did just point out the fact that there is a new Top Story.

Yes, it does that a lot. I think there's a moment were it times out, and it reloads the whole server, starting you back from the beginning.

"Whatever exists, whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent. These anonymous creatures may seem little or nothing in the world. Yet the smallest crumb can devour us. Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth."

Yeah, I've experienced the problem a few times myself...

It happens when your Passport times out - if you have been logged in a long time, it will sometimes have to refresh your "Passport Ticket". When that happens, it punts you to the front page.

You can minimize this behavior by not selecting "save my password" in the sign-in box.

Punts?
Is that a typo...?

Zomgification. I'd better hide.

Punt.

Achronos never makes typos. Well... apart from sometimes.

No worry. My suicide.

That's what I was talking about, in a nutshell.
