I've noticed over the last week or so a lot of the Pants Down messages. This morning I think I may have noticed a
pattern. I can open the main forum page okay, but I can't open the Beginners or
Java In General forums. Yet I have no problem getting into the Ranch Office or the new Blogs around the Campfire forum.
Obviously not a definitive
test, but it seems like the number of posts in the forum may be affecting whether I get the Pants Down message or not.
Edit: I can open individual threads within those forums (via the My Posts or Recent Topics pages). I just can't open the forum lists themselves. You can add the Programmer Certification (SCJP/OCPJP) and Meaningless Drivel forums to the list of those I can't open.
