I was trying to find a thread I started; and found when I click on "Welcome, 'bobstad' " in the upper right hand corner of the web page, this takes me to a web page not associated with fordfestiva.com.

Explaining there has been some sort of malfunction already reported to the website owner. Who I'm supposed to contact if this persists. Which that has now, trying repeatedly to make the link work normally.

I was thinking about donating a little lately, even though not often at the website recently; so maybe a heads up about that in some way.

I've noticed my computer has been acting a little kinky lately, so maybe that's the problem; though the rest of the website seems to work okay.

The following is the text I get, on the page clicking on "bobstad" takes me to:

Well; I just got the link to "bobstad" to work; on the list of new threads on the General Discussion page.

Now I'm where I want to be, so after I've done my business I'll check to see if I can also connect more normally too.

It happens every once in a while. I believe when they are updating and or changing stuff within the site. Anyway, if you wait a bit it should be up and going again for you. It is not an issue with your computer but the site itself.

Now things are working normally: Still curious though, what happened?

phew! I thought homeland security had identified me as a terrorist or something?

And, I finally got to use the green icon with the toothiest grin. Way cool.

1. This is the wrong forum to post this thread in... That's what News & Support forum is for.

2. As said... It can be for many reasons... the database could be having a problem, updates, etc. Typically it'll fix itself if you give it 10~ minutes or so.

We're working on getting it corrected long term. Please be patient.
