Given the timing I am fairly confident that Barry Arrington would have interpreted the event as an act of God, and an affirmation that he is right and just in his actions ...

If that were the case, given that the ice storm likely caused three deaths so far and cut power to over a quarter million homes and businesses, one would be justified in inferring that Arrington's deity had lousy aim and no empathy for those caught in the collateral damage.

God aims in mysterious ways ... the people who died were being punished ... the people inconvenienced were also being punished because some of them are gay/muslim/not_part_of_my_preferred_branch_of_christianity/atheist ... [insert your preferred theological excuse on behalf of imaginary deity here]

I edited a file this morning. I had no issues accessing the site from my Linux box. I assumed that things were well. There's discussion at TSZ of access problems, so I tried pulling up AtBC on my Windows laptop. No dice.

At least I can replicate the problem.

Thanks to midwifetoad, there's now an enclosing "div" around posts, which might help keep down knock-on effects of bad post formatting. We will see.

I don't know if this little problem is local, but when I open AtBC, new posts after dec 31st do not appear at the top. I have to click (as I always have done) "New posts".

That's happened to me. I don't recall the solution, but I think it was something I did.

I'd think it would be something on a menu from one of the icons near the top of this page, or maybe from the main page of the BB, but I couldn't find it.

The link to the "Uncommonly Dense Thread IV" on the "After the bar closes" page directs my browser to an empty last page of the "Discussing "Explore Evolution"" page.
It would be sad if all those priceless gems dug from UD would be lost for future generations.

Seems to me AtBC lately has been somewhat creaky.

First opening several banners in Firefox, then activating one after the other and clicking AtBC in the URL drop-down list, they  close instead of opening AtBC.

EDIT:

The problem used to show up only now and then but now it looks like it has become permanent, and the number of funny entries has exploded.



Edit March 26 2014: Yes, it has become permanent, worse than ever!

Was AtBC down earlier? I kept getting timeouts and was about to say something on PT BW, but then AtBC came up before I submitted that.
