So, when I chick someones profile including my own I get basically nothing, just the standard DN1 black screen.  Is this a settings problem (I use IE7 and wonder if my security settings are too high or something?  Its always worked up until recently).  Or something else?  Anyone else having this problem?

Yep, I am having the same problem too. I would think it's the same for everyone.

same issue here

I don't think it's the security settings I think it's the forums. i'm useing firefox when same settings I always used and I was able to read profiles before but not now. Maybe the latest server maintaince bugged the profile viewing page.

WHEEE! Forums are broke! I just tried to veiw a  few profiles and no luck here.

Good news...profiles seem to be working again!
