I just got an email asking me to confirm my registration, which I thought was odd.

Clearly it's a bit late for that.

This changed to the avs logo for me an hour or so back on my phone.

My immediate thought was hacked but maybe it's a partnership that hasn't been announced?

I just assumed the mods changed the tab logo. They've done it before. I remember once it was a gif.

[Master Zik]

I'll take this time to say I've been loving this tab thing at the bottom that lets you know when a thread has new posts and lets you navigate the thread a different way Meth

Also seems like the font on NT has changed for certain things.

Time to page Methodical Management

im scared...

No, AVS is also hosted by Huddler.  I've already contacted Huddler and I'm waiting to hear back.

My guess is that they somehow managed to revert to the site layout used during testing back in the summer of 2012.  As you can see, the front page utilizes the layout from a much older version of the platform. 

I anticipate that this will be resolved shortly - hopefully with a minimum of downtime.  I appreciate everyone's patience.

I think its fixed, because I'm not seeing what any of you are seeing.

The favicon, page titles, and the search bar label have all been corrected.  

The h1 font and layout are next on the list.

During initial platform testing and configuration, settings from existing sites are often copied and pasted over.  I'm guessing that, for some inexplicable reason, our settings were all reverted today.  We'll fix it.

Hey, if this is the worst experience any of us ever has on Valentine's Day, I'd say we should consider ourselves lucky.
