Database error.
I will let the techies know.

PS, the site here is running real slow, so we may end up going down too for awhile.
I do have an email into them though.

I am sure they will get to the bottom of this, they always do.
nd yes, I know about the tall picture ad too below the YT Community link.
That would be better off in the rotational banner, as it makes much more scrolling now to get to the bottom in the index page.

Can anyone see the homepage now?
I see no content there with both IE and Firefox, even after a cache dump.
yet I can see the content with my Dare Verizon cell phone.

So you can see all the content on the homepage
https://www.yotatech.com/index.php
just fine and dandy?

I can not see anything except for our picture banner, and that Cars Direct ad to the far right.

I have cleared the cache here at work to no avail.
Guess I will have to try when I get home, as they say the homepage is now fixed and all the content is back up again.

Let me grab a screen shot and show you what I see.

This is even after flushing my PC at home.
For kicks I fired up the PC in the other room, and the same thing as in my screen shot link above.

Scuba, I moved your thread around 2 am this morning when I got up.
I see the tire thread background, it should always be there if you are using the Extreme tempates located in the very bottom left corner of your window.

I found the snafu!
My favorite template to use is
Yotatech Extreme Sizable Fonts W/Border from the drop down list.
That template got corrupted last night no doubt.

If I use another template, all is well.

DAGNABBIT!
I now have to use a non sizable font template to view the forum with.
The other Extreme ones with sizable fonts are no good, the homepage no longer shows up, and that Cars Direct widget shows on the forums listing page.

Another update.
I can use the Extreme (Black page) with sizable fonts, and it works.
But, this version does not have the cool tread background.
The background by name in your list is called "border."

Yep, and my default template was the Extreme sizable fonts w/border.
It seems all the templates with the border (tire tread picture) are the ones that show that tall ad and no content on the homepage.

If they can not fix the ones with the tread in them, I will delete them later and add the tread background into the plain Extreme one with sizable fonts, and the other one that says with more border.
That latter one showed much more of the tread pattern, but made the forum smaller, much like TTORA.
http://www.ttora.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=139
You can see how the forum is sucked in more of the middle at TTORA.

You mean the one that is a car finder?
Yes, that is the one that is stuck on the home page and the main page that lists the forums if you use any template that has "border" in it.

Yes, it was a widget that was added, and that broke the code for the templates that I had made that had the border (tread pattern) in them.

They will get the templates fixed tomorrow, so I will not mess with the non border ones by adding a border to them.

All should be back to normal by tomorrow.

I tell you, the sheer amount of code that makes up the templates is mind boggling.
When I sue to mess around with them when I made the others, there is thousands upon thousands of symbols in there, and it is pretty easy to input something in the wrong place, and this is what happened last night when that Cars Direct widget was added.

It will get fixed.

All I have done if fire off emails in the right direction, take screenshots, ect... to help get this solved.
I figured out it was the templates with the tread background that got out of whack, but the techs in the background here deserve the credit for putting up with my emails to solve the problem by fixing it hopefully by the weekend.

Thanks, but remember, it is the techs doing the code work who should get the credit for jumping on this and being committed to trying to fix those templates.
