Thanks. I have raised a ticket with Xenforo support about the old vBulletin link re-direct issue. Will post here when I have some updates.

Not sure if this is an issue but today when I landed on the forums site I noticed something strange. I'm using Brave browser and before logging into the forums I noticed that all of the subforms were collapsed with the exception of Civ 6. There also was no 'Other' forums displayed until I logged in. Then everything was displayed normally.
@Moff Jerjerrod Cookie issue? Clear them and see what happens.

I believe you may be correct. After logging out and clearing cookies the problem seems to have disappeared.
Are you aware there are two cookie consent things, with different options? When you first visit you get the unavoidable lightbox that gives the option of rejecting all:
Spoiler Cookie consent lightbox :
After you get through that you get a cookie consent bar at the bottom of the screen with only Agree and Learn More:
Spoiler Cookie consent bar :
I just had to dig into this, due to other issues, so just wanted to report back:
- the first box is for advertising cookies. You may reject all of them, or keep all of them, or anything in between, as you like
- the second box is to inform you about our own cookies, from civfanatics.com, the ones which you need to log in and make this site technically work. You cannot reject this, this is an information. You can decide to not click the "accept" link, but the cookies for logging in will be set anyways. This does not affect any advertising cookies.

Hoping that this is the correct place.
When I enter the site to this page (on mobile, Chrome):
and try to go to the forums by clicking on the top left button that reads "Home", the menu that comes up to let you navigate to the forums (and other areas of the site) only stays up for a second, give or take, before closing itself. Sometimes you have to guess where the correct option will be because you need to already moving your finger in the right direction as the menu opens or it will close before you get there. I could probably supply a video if needed.

A link or screenshot would be handy.
It can be that an image was embedded, but that a user then deleted it.
Or maybe a broken ad, no clue.
Just done that.
Sorry, this is mainly an issue with staff availability :/.
I guess that's on mobile (well, okay, the name of the attachment gives it away...)? Which browser?
I've just tested this on my phone, with Chrome and Firefox, and I don't get this problem :/.
Issue resolved, thank you very much.

It's on mobile using Chrome (I did mention it, but I guess you're quite busy
). It's still happening, although it wasn't as bad this time trying to replicate it for the screen recorder - previously, it was every time I visited over the last week or so, and wouldn't stop. Now it's just the first time, which is typical, but still. Hopefully the attachment works.Edit: Apparently I can't attach the recording.

I can't do that on my phone, so it'll have to wait until I get some time on my computer.

Is this reproducible for you?

It seems that the embedded Tweet in the post does get rendered in some browsers as a frame, appearing as an image. I would guess if there's a lag on Twitter's side, then this might cause a weird behaviour. (might not be reproducible in that case though)

No, it happens completely randomly. only happened 3 times so far, once on the forum list, once in the OT and once in the twitter thread.
edit: Just happened 2 more times in a row, again in the OT and on the forum list, refreshing clears it up.
