Re: Please Critique my Forum Design
If you do a curl -I http://example.com/
from the command line on a Linux or Mac machine, or check the response headers with Firebug or the Web Developer Toolbar (both Firefox add-ons) you will see the response header is a 404, but the page still loads. This has something to do with WordPress, I think.
I tried to load a page on your forum just now, to show you the header output, but I keep getting a “page load error.”
