Ted linked me to the High Society board - so I have permission to view it - but for some reason, I can not view it on my own with a hot link. It does not show up on my Influence board.

There's something wrong with the forum tree, and I'm not entirely certain what it is. When I look at the permissions tree I see forums that appear to be children of forums they aren't children of... When you open the forum's properties it looks correct though...

Even stranger, manually browsing the forum tree shows them similarly out of order.

I'm going to do some research and may ask staff to help me some here as well. I *think* something's bizarre in database-land and there are only a couple ways to fix it.

Lindsay, your High Society influence corrupted the database. I hope you're happy.

You should have never invited ";DROP TABLES to that fancy dress party.

Yeah, I tried to reorder some forums to see if it would fix that, and it did, but the reordering function broke afterward... so... DB is corrupted :\

Apparently this is a known issue. Particularly common when you delete a lot of forums all at once... so blame the system change! :)
