Forums inaccessible from Firefox

Seems to be working just fine for me. What version FF are you running, and are you using it with the Arc embed or no?
I never use the embed.

Edit: Tested with the embed, working fine both directions.​​

No matter how I tried to get to the PWI Forums, even going from ARC via http://www.arcgames.com/en/social/forum, using the "Forum" button on that page, I keep being taken to the page telling us about "Extended Platform Maintenance". The shortcut I use and have been using for months with the URL http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/pwi/#/categories/pwi, takes me to the "Extended Platform Maintenance" page. This has been happening ever since the games and forums were back up. I had to go to the PWI Facebook page, use a link there to get to the PWI Forum. I created a second shortcut to the forums using http://forum.arcgames.com/pwi/categories as the URL and I am now able to get to the PWI forums again without being redirected. And yes, I do use Firefox!

However, I was unable to login to post this comment using my new shortcut as it is not showing a way to do so when I get to the pages. I had to load the URL info into Google Chrome to be able to get the full forum pages with the ability to login. The page I get to via Firefox with my new shortcut does not even show I am on Arc. So I am guessing something was changed by Arc and it has nothing to do with cookies since I delete all cookies and internet info out of the temp files every time I leave the internet.

So, zoner112012 and noodlepunch you are not alone on this! And, my Firefox is current at version 41.0.1

There ya go, the actual links to get to the pages have changed so we were getting the maintenance page instead. Just update your bookmarks/shortcuts and it should work fine.​​

Probably, but I chose to leave it here for visibility.​​

Firefox works just fine with browsing the forums for me. ;x

I am still having the exact same problems as described above.

If this problem is related to the Adobe Flash player, how come I can use the links to the forums on the "Social" page while I am using Firefox to get to all the other Forum pages "except" PWI?? I just tested every link to a forum on that page http://www.arcgames.com/en/social/forum and every one worked for me taking me to the correct forum "except" the one for PWI!

I also updated Firefox to 41.0.2 today as soon as my PC said it was out and did the test getting to the other forum pages.

Something is not adding up!

For everyone having this issue, clear your cache. Firefox did the same thing for me but that fixed it. It seems it was keeping a cached version of the page from before.​​

If by "cache" you are referring to "temporary internet files", as I stated above, I delete all in my Temp file every time I leave the internet and I am still having the problem when I use Firefox. The only way I am currently getting to the pages and am able to login to to write a post, is to paste the URL in to Goggle Chrome. Any attempt to get to the PWI forums and only the the PWI Forums using Firefox is taking me to http://www.arcgames.com/en/maintenance/extended#/categories/pwi which is the "Extended Platform Maintenance" page.

Wow
