Temporary problem with the site's front page [RESOLVED] - GrimFinger - 03-11-2011
While editing the site's front page, my web browser decided to declare war on me, with the end effect being about 20 to 30 minutes of the front page being blank.
The forum software's portal page is what I use as the front page for this site, currently. Templates are what the software uses to control the display of information on this page. For some reason or other, instead of saving changes to the template, the template would save as a blank page. Consequently, what anyone who visited the site during that particular time frame would see would be absolutely nothing - just a truly blank page.
It's not hard to fix, nor even very time consuming to fix, if my web browser cooperates. The worst part about such episodes is that I get no warning. I did go ahead and make a copy of the current portal page template saved with today's date, in case it happens again in the future.
Dealing with websites, there's always something kind of problem or other to rear its head. But, fortunately, this problem appears to be remedied, for now.
My apologies for any inconvenience that this may have caused to any site visitors affected by this glitch. My thanks to Google's cached page system, for allowing me to re-create the front page template as quickly as I was able to.
