What exactly went wrong was after polishing some coding last night, I uploaded my new viewtopic pages to the wii site and the ds site but accidentally uploaded the wii one to the ds site so it was trying to get wii topics that did not exist. A simple error and I'm not quite sure how I missed it.... usually I upload then refresh to check the page. There are no excuses I can give really.
I just hope the things that I am putting in make up for all the errors lately. It's quite a trade off when I suddenly put the site out of action for hours on end. We are coming to the end of revamping the forum now so it shouldn't happen on the main pages. New pages are going to be worked on soon like the "posts since last visit" and tweaks in profiles are still due too but they are less_of_a_problem pages.
