Does anyone know what happened to the forum page here? I had been going through some of my account settings and whe I clicked back onto the main page this is what it looked like.
BeatlesBibleForumPage.jpgImage Enlarger


Everything from the Beatles Section is gone. I can only see Forum Rules, Getting Better , and All together now. I also opened a incognito window and logged in there and the forum appeared normally. I tried closing the window and re opening it and the forum looks the same as the screenshot. I opened a new window and the forum looks the same, I tried reloading the it looks the same. 
I can acesses threads if they're in the Recently Updated/Unread section. I can also use the search tool to find threads. 

Edit: I FIGURED IT OUT!!! It seems as though I clicked the little square button(s) in the corner which hid the section. So sorry for being stupid. paul-mccartney-facepalm_gifpaul-mccartney-facepalm_gifpaul-mccartney-facepalm_gif

Maybe you helped someone who might click on that collapse button in the future.

So this is what shows up if you're not logged in but still try to "thank". Not a problem.

There still remains an odd glitch, because never before have I had to click on that little box to expand the front page menu. Only in the last couple of days is it now defaulting to a collapsed presentation.

Now today I find, you have changed your mind

Just for the record, my post above no longer pertains -- everything is back to normal, all is well with the universe...

This weird thing keeps happening where this specific post (see screenshots) only shows the time in seconds only. The numbers seem to be getting smaller everytime I reload the page. The four screenshots were taken within two mintues of each other, and are organized in the order I took them. It went from being 1616 seconds old (around 26 mintues) to 1511 (around 25 mintues) to 1435 seconds (around 23 mintues) to 1275 seconds (21 mintues). The post is getting younger?

The other posts have normal times on them

Anyone have any idea whats going on here?ahdn_paul_06
EDIT: I looked at my post right after I posted it and it says it 3590 seconds old (Roughly 1 hour old) even though I just posted. The post also gets younger when I reload the page. I wonder what happens when the post reaches 0 zero seconds. does it go back to normal?
Screenshot-2025-03-29-221018.pngImage Enlarger

SECOND EDIT: Okay it seems that every new post is showing up as 3600 seconds or younger. It seems to start at 3600 (One hour of seconds) then count down from there.

THIRD EDIT: 
So It seems after it reaches 0 it counts back up. Weird.

Oakwood, does it happen on another device? I think it's the system's internal clock, and something triggered the display in that unit. Maybe a virus, maybe a website glitch, maybe backup and a purge of cookies needs to happen.

I'll try testing it on another device. 

EDIT: On my main device it doesn't seem to happen anymore, nor does it happen on other devices.

@Oakwood That's really odd. I don't think I've seen anything like that before. I suspect it's something to do with the server time going awry, and hopefully it won't happen again, but if it does please let me know.

So I think there's several display issues (at least for me) in this (linked below) thread. 

https://www.beatlesbible.com/f.....john-yoko/

The first display issue seemed to be mmm's Signature disappearing. I found the text from the signature at the bottom of the page, which also seemed to be having display iusses too. I quoted his post (the one with the missing signature) and now my post has loaded funny. Here's some screen shots.

First post in the thread. Missing signature.

The signature is towards the bottom of the page
Screenshot-2025-04-14-195352-1.pngImage Enlarger

This is also how the bottom of the page is displayed in the thread
Screenshot-2025-04-14-200427.pngImage Enlarger

My post (unedited) quoting mmm's post. The text outside the spoiler from his post is outside the quote box in mine. My signature is also not appearing where it should be, instead it is also towards the bottom of the page.

Now I tried to edit the post to see if I could fix the weird quote box problem but this is what I was greeted with. I didn't touch any of the buttons this is what it looked like when I pressed edit. In the edit mode is seems that the quote box is correct for some reason.

I edited the post and the quote box didn't correct and my signature is still missing.

These weird issuses only occur in that thread alone. It happens on other devices and browsers too.

OK, thank you. MMM's post was a bit of a mess of HTML markup (no shade; it happens sometimes), presumably from the original source that was quoted (lots of span tags that needn't be there). But the reason the page layout (including the signature) was broken was because of an unclosed spoiler tag. It's normally nothing too much to worry about as long as the edit button is still there for mods to fix it.

The message source looked something like this (I've added some spaces so that the tags show up here):

< blockquote >[ spoiler ] Mercury Studios today announced its new feature documentary, "One to One: John &amp;amp; Yoko," a moving look at the couple's life upon their entry into a transformative 1970's New York, exploring their musical, personal, artistic, social, and political world. Set in 1972 against the backdrop of a turbulent era in American history, the film was directed by Kevin Macdonald. […]</ blockquote >

< p >[/ spoiler ] </ p>

The layout got borked because the closing spoiler tag was outside the blockquote. There was no real reason to have spoilers on that message so I took the tags out, and also edited some of the other posts that quoted it.

Has anyone else lost the ability to copy-and-paste text into threads?
