Can't access the Backroom
I've got a very curious bug here. Trying to access the Backroom from my computer will cause a http 404 error message to show up.
It's the only page where my computer does this, and I can access the BR from another computer, so I'm trying to figure out what's wrong. I can add that I had the comp disconnected for a while and when logging back, the start page to this forum had a changed and broken link. I'm not sure if it's related.
Re: Can't access the Backroom
What's the URL of the page that causes a 404?

Re: Can't access the Backroom
Yes, that is the normal one.
What browser are you using on the computer that gets the 404, and what browser on the computer that can access it?
Re: Can't access the Backroom
Try a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5).

IE 9 on both. I can bypass and get it to work by using Firefox, so the problem is probably in IE on my end. Still it's very worth to track down this bug.
Ctrl F5 didn't work.

On the computer that has this problem, did you do an upgrade from IE 8 to IE 9?

Nope. Well I did, but it was ages ago.
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/ went broken at the same time.
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/index.php still works. I suspect they're related.

Should've tried that earlier. Cleaning out the temporary internet files did the the trick.

Doesn't hard refresh do that?

It's been quite a while since I last used IE, so it might do things differently. On Firefox, Chrome and Opera, Ctrl+F5 AFAIK clears the cache for the page and reloads.
