found a bug in the website that can be reproduced by going into the forums and clicking on the fleet under a posters name (to try to see the stats of their fleet).
Once you have clicked on this it gives you 404 then any link i tried except the network links to darkspace and darkspace beta would give 404
i tried this while logged in and while not logged in and it has the same result

The webserver is different now. Before, each page you wanted to see had its own page - ie, to look at clans, you'd view clans.htm. Now, however, they are all "modules" loaded by one file - index.htm. The forums haven't been completely upgraded though, so the link to the fleet still goes to clans.htm.
Clans doesn't exist anymore, though. However, even the 404 error page has our menu bar around it... but there's a catch. Generally, the menu bar links assume we already have the address/index.htm? and then it adds the module name. When you get to clans.htm, though, it attempts to add the ?module= name to it. But the clans page doesn't load modules.. so everything is a 404.
Its a dumb bug, and hopefully that explanation makes at least a bit of sense.
If it happens to you, just either use one of the blue GCQL buttons to start over, or just delete everything in your address bar but the base address.. so you go back to beta.darkspace.net or whatever (you can try to change the page name to index.htm, but i can't guarantee that it will work).
Sorry.. I'll get around to fixing it someday.

You need to ask for your prestige to be carried over as Beta and Release are kept on different databases to make sure nothing happens

S'ok. Better idea to keep them separate for testing purposes.
