Bug report:

Bug report:
When clicking on someone to view their profile, there is a redirect loop and an error is displayed (in the green message box):
"Oops, looks like this request tried to create an infinite loop. We do not allow such things here. We are a professional website!"

But, it works anyway and the profile is displayed.

To reproduce the error, click on maming's profile link (apologies for using you as an example):

I cannot enter a debate or

I cannot enter a debate or discussion if i know that my posts can be deleted.

Can we fix the delete other people replies by deleting yours please?

Also editing should be allowed only for a few hours after the post, else you would have dishonest people deleting or changing things they do not like to support a claim.

If you are debating with theists, this cannot be tolerated.

My own thoughts on the

My own thoughts on the subject are that even in a televised formal debate what one debater says can be ignored, reformed to express something unintended, or completely missed by the opposition and the audience. However I'll bring up all of your concerns, thank you in advance for your patience.

I can already guess what is

I can already guess what is going to happen (under the current setup). After getting burned a couple times (getting their posts deleted by someone deleting an 'upstream' post); sly users will stop hitting the reply button and just post everything at the highest level of nesting possible (to protect their post). Is that a good or bad thing? I don't know. :)

Yes, a quick escape website button, which makes it easy for viewers to leave the site quickly, from anywhere on the site.

Preferably with a sign understandable in any language.

It could make all the difference for all the people who take a risk coming to websites such as this.

I found a new, confusing bug.

I found a new, confusing bug. It's no show stopper, but highly confusing.

I'll use my "Memes" thread as an example:
http://www.atheistrepublic.com/forums/debate-room/memes
If I look at a time stamp for my main post in the Memes thread I see: Tue, 03/03/2015 - 09:38.
But if I log out, and look at the same post, I see: Tue, 03/03/2015 - 00:38

And this seems consistent with all timestamps. When logged out, I get a 9 hour time difference. Perhaps some sort of time zone difference?

It was very confusing when I opened the same thread in a different browser next to the first, where I wasn't logged in in the second browser.

Well, it's not a bug, it's a feature. I set my profile time zone to -7 hours (Los Angeles) and voilá, I get the same timestamps when logged in and logged out.
This confused the hell out of me for a while.

Hi all, we apologize for the inconvenience. We encountered an error with our hosting provider which caused the site to crash and we had to rollback to a previous backup of the site. Due to this, some posts and comments are not available. We are working with our hosting provider to ensure that this will not happen again.

What's going on with forum

What's going on with forum replies?
Two of my replies in the Omni-paradox thread, ended up in weird places. And not even the "(Reply to #)" link works afterwards. I deleted my second reply because it landed complete out of context.

I suspect it has something to do with the "page=2" reference you still have in your links. Since the thread can grow on all pages simultaneously, the page number for specific posts can always change making the reference incorrect.

*Pssssst*, Admin / Developers.

I won't tell anyone, but...

It looks like a developer accidentally left links leading to your test site (http://test-atheist-republic.gotpantheon.com/) in you subscription digest e-mails, instead of links to you actual site.

This could cause some confusion, since the site looks the same and probably works the same as well? People might post comments on the test site...
