SL Forums “oddness” this morning

This morning the official Linden Lab SL Forums was not working correctly for many hours. When I clicked on Forums tab this screen appeared with message not found with a link saying return to my original page which was weird. Then after 5:32 AM there was a post about this “oddness” and Lexie Linden replied at 7:26 AM saying “I am following up on the forum oddness!”. Very strange!

Message Not Found

The message you are trying to access is not available.

Return to my original page

It seems things are back to normal again for the main homepage of the Forums but when trying to “View All” it doesn’t work. Hopefully Linden Lab will resolve this shortly if you are wondering about why it’s not working normally today.
