Dan, I have www.flyertalk.com bookmarked and that always brings me back to the main FT page.</font>
okay, that part's working as expected...

and that sounds like it's doing what it's supposed to.

We did have some stray links that weren't loading in the correct frameset overall, but I think we fixed those this weekend when we took FT down for maintenance.
I
think what was happening was:[list=1][*]you go to
http://www.flyertalk.com[*]you start surfing in one Forum, say FT Dining, so that the entire frameset is the Dining frameset (the title at the top of your browser says "FlyerTalk Dining Forums")[*]then you decide you want to check out FlyerTalk Airports, so you select that forum from the drop-down menu at the top[*]before this weekend, that would have loaded the FT Airports forum
inside the Dining frameset, so that when you do hit refresh, the Dining frameset reloads, pulling back in the FT Dining forum, instead of the Airports forum you were just viewing.[/list=a]
I believe we have all the links to the various forums fixed now so that they load in their own framesets. This means that if you navigate laterally between forums (using the drop-down menu), new framesets are loaded. Now, if you refresh from within a particular forum, the worst that will happen is that you'll be returned to the front of that particular forum, and not flyertalk.com's main page.
As with the old FlyerTalk site, the best method for navigating within the forums is by using the tree navigation up there at the top right to move around inside a particular forum, and to use the drop-down menus to switch between the four forums.
Are things still acting up on you?
