Last time something broke a few weeks ago I replaced the forum index.php with a "holding page" , which was just line of text saying something is broken or something.. However since replacing the index.php back with the forums proper index page, I seem to randomly get the line of text on my PC and tablet.
I wonder if anyone else has been experiencing the same ?
I really don't know how it is even possible because a few weeks ago I deleted the forums index page and put it back again. This all seems to have started when updating to PHP8. It's like it has a cache of the old "temp" index page which it randomly loads itself for no reason at all even though temp page hasn't existed for some weeks now...
Can all registered uses please login, even just for a few minutes..
It helps build a picture where our "good traffic" is coming from..
Thanks :)

Yes I get it every so often. I just thought it was because I needed to clear my history etc. But couldn't be bothered.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

If anyone does see the line of text can you please just copy paste it on here then I will search the entire disk for that text to see if it literally appears anywhere it in a way...

Just did it again
That message is not valid anymore.. those problems where already fixed...Some server update has broken the forum, no idea why, trying to figure it out..

I'm doing a disk scan, so far its only appeared in Nginx cache.. but it should have cleared out ages ago.. ive just deleted the whole cache folder.. So see if that solves it..
