So, while visiting the UK site I went and created a news thread (here), and noticed that the thread was created in the UK news forum even though it's not a UK news.

Update: also noticed that everyone is being redirected there.

Hope that's a bug?

I've just noticed another issue. I've got subscribed topics on the forum; when I click the email link and logon it says the topic doesn't exist. I then have to manually browse to the topic in question.

Not a huge issue of course, and I'm 95% sure it's caused by the URL re-direct. Worth pointing out nonetheless.

I couldn't reproduce that. Can you give more information about the url you clicked, and where you were redirected to? (possibly multiple redirections)

One of the subscriber forum threads.

I was directed to 'animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1109651' which does not exist.

The correct URL is 'animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=46486'.

Worth pointing out that the URL to unsubscribe from the thread has the correct ID of '46486'. Huzzah.

Not 100% sure if this was working prior to this URL direct - sorry.

All other forum links seem fine.

Thanks Dan42.

Not sure if this is another issue or something intended, but whenever I click on the USA tab from the UK site I still get redirected to the UK site. I know there's nothing else to be seen over there regarding news and views, but right now I wanted to check the Blue Exorcist skin without going through all the pain of changing it in the user menu. In fact, I can't even see it in the user menu.

I don't know the cause of the redirect issue.

The Skin is a separate issue though. It's only directed at the US and Canada. Hopefully we'll be allowed to make it available in the UK when someone licenses BeX over there.

The USA button worked for me last I tried it - not going to try it now since it wipes all my unread topic notifications.

There are still some USA feedback topics in the UK forum:

animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=185756

--edit--

USA button not working now for me either. Going to try dumping cookies.

--edit--

Has to delete cookies for both .com and .co.uk and log back into both, but now happily switching again.

I see the Blue Exorcist skin when logged out and it is also an option on the skins menu?
There's also a link to the Blue Exorcist page on the front page of ANN:UK but I realised when flipping sites that it isn't there on the .com side
