The problem is with the forum section ONLY, not the main CBT site.
Murphy's Law dropped in for a visit while 'fixes' to the forum were being done. Scrambled access to the message database. PM's still work. And if you click on a member's username from the 'active' list at the bottom, you'll still see the members info page. The "member search" still works, as well. If you click on the "show posts" link on a member's info page you'll see that member's last few posts. I take this as a good sign that the message database is still intact. Pretty sure what got mussed were files that index the database for access from the main forum interface.
It will get fixed when it gets fixed. Bennie is on the problem, and intends to get the forum back on the air.
