On the main http://www.macnn.com/ page, all the links under the "forum" menu are borked (except the first one that just points to forums.macnn.com) - they point to things like:
"http://forums.macnn.comforumdisplay.php/?s=&forumid=50"
"Yields a falsehood when preceded by its quotation" yields a falsehood when preceded by its quotation.

It's fixed now, but I'll spell it out for you anyway since we're apparently being smartasses today.

On the main page ( http://www.macnn.com/ ), there's a navbar that has "mac news" "podcasts" "reviews" etc. When you mouseover any of those, it changes the navbar underneath to reveal more options. Until today, all the links under the "forums" navbar item except for the one named "main" were broken ("hardware" "software" etc).

Clear?

Euh, is it just me, or are they still not fixed ?
I tested it both on a Mac and on a PC @ college, and both the links are still broken (except for main).

I guess they were too busy adding ads to bother with such trivialities as working links on the front page...

Huh. They were fixed at one point. They're broken again.

probably because the main page is a template and every time the main page updates, it pulls that info in. when it got 'fixed', some just changed the current main page and not the template. it got overridden the next time an update was made.
