It's the groundhog's fault! 😉 More like April Fool's - 2 months early - than Halloween.

I've noticed some intermittent problems too but not that bad tonight. However, earlier in January I noticed some of the issues everyone here is mentioning. I forget when exactly and it never lasted more than a few hours. And I thought at the time it must be something someone is doing at a header level with Wikia in general but I could never prove it. I remember a few things not yet mentioned here, like I wanted to edit my profile but it wouldn't let me telling me I was accessing a backup version of the Wiki because something had happened to the primary version. I had trouble logging in then too. I think I even got a message at one point that the system didn't recognize my user name. And I had trouble accessing the main page and related pages but could still access specific message walls or forum pages directly by doing Google searches for them. I also remember not really seeing a lot of chatter here when I was having these issues. Either not many others were having the issues when I was or not many people were talking about it. Not that I saw anyway.

Tonight my only problem was if I was on the main page and clicked a link there it wouldn't do anything but I could still use the Wikia toolbar links to access my profile page and from there I could go where I needed. But that issue has already cleared up for me. No avatars or profile info missing or posts showing as anonymous or issues with my login. I've checked around a bit and I can see all of everyone's profile info and avatars and posts are showing with your usernames rather than anonymous. So I think there's no data missing, just your viewing of it has issues.

My gut tells me it has to do with this whole change from Wikia to Fandom and until they're done with all the changes, we're going to be in for more of these intermittent rough rides. Ugh!
