I tried going back to the TG thread, but I found that with all the threads in ED that I tried, I get just the title of the thread and this character below it:

<

The header is normal -- everything seems normal except for the fact that I can't read any of the thread posts (or see any of the avatars, etc).

When I go to the Extended Discussion forum front page, I can see the names of the threads, who last posted in them; everything is normal. From this, I know that others are currently able to access ED. But when I click on the thread title or the last page in the thread, I get a blank page with:

<

Since I recently had a bit of a conflict with Elwood, I'm guessing that it's possible he (or someone he knew) hacked me.

I'm guessing this isn't a site ban, because I can still access my guilds (obviously). I'm writing this in to let you know that if I don't come back, this is what happened. It obviously wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if I couldn't access Gaia...I'm just posting this here so that you all have a heads-up as to what's happening. I'll try logging on again tomorrow -- maybe it's just one of these quirks that the system goes through.

Reboot and try again. I had that happen to me once months ago and it resolved itself.

2. If you suspect hacking, make a mule and transfer all the stuff you aren't currently using to the secondary account.

Hey, I'm getting some weird formatting clearly caused by some annoying add they've got on the page now. It could be your browser is liking it even less than I do.

Ah, thanks. I tried to get on earlier and Gaia was functional. I apologize for not posting when I was on, then -- it didn't occur to me to say, "hey, Gaia's working again, it's all good," until after I'd shut my computer off and had to (fairly literally) run out the door. sweatdrop

Anyway, it's comforting to know it isn't just me; as my mind then moves to, "it was a coincidence," rather than "someone's messing with me."

I have no idea. sweatdrop I did try the default browser, though, and the same thing was happening there. I think there could have been some flaw in how my computer was interpreting the Javascript.
