Moments ago I fired up Google Chrome on my father-in-law's computer and tried to log into CN. After doing so, I got the "that nation no longer exists" screen. Startled, I closed the tab, opened a new one and tried again. Same result. My nation no longer existed.

After a few moments of looking like the dog on old RCA Victor LPs, I clicked the CN banner at the top of the screen and was taken to the usual start screen, except that it now showed me as logged in. I clicked 'View My Nation' and all was well.

No clue what happened or whether it's a problem with the code, the browser or the user (highly unlikely on the last one, right?)....but it was odd enough that I thought I would mention it.

still exists on here. probably a bug. got screenies?

Are you going to CN via a bookmark or by typing in the URL?

If you go through an old bookmark that points to a nation that no longer exists you'll get that message.

I get the same thing and my homepage is set to http://www.cybernations.net/

It's starting to happen on a regular basis, but it doesn't bother me. If I change my homepage to my nation it just takes me to the login screen and then takes me to my nation.

The answers are:

1. No.
2. A Bookmark. (http://www.cybernations.net)
3. The bookmark is for my current nation. I'm at my father-in-law's six days out of seven.

I'll see if I can get it to replicate next time I'm there.

Try clearing your browser cache and see if the problem repeats itself. If so, you could try using a real browser instead like Firefox.

Assuming the problem isn't the browser cache or Chrome, then you've got yourself a mystery there. Good luck.

while i prefer firefox. chrome is an excelent browser. (i wonder if admin has stats on how many players access CN with ie6 though...)

Chrome is fast, but has some issues with certain web apps. For example, I work on a LMS called 'Sakai' and between Chrome and Safari neither seem to want to consistently work well for technical reasons I'll not get into in this forum. IE 8 seems ok, though I would not recommend people continue to use IE 6 due to all the well documented browser exploits out there.

Browser stats for the web, not necessarily just CN, but probably close:

September, 2009
IE7 - 15.3%
IE6 - 12.1%
IE8 - 12.2%
Firefox - 46.6%
Chrome - 7.1%
Safari - 3.6%
Opera - 2.2%

FYI: all IE totals 39.6%

FWIW, I can show you IRON's forum stats that might give you a better handle on CN as a whole (Sept 2009):

IE8 - 11.7%
IE7 - 21.8%
IE6 - 2.8%
IE4.01 - 1.1%
Other IE: 0.1%
Total IE:37.5%

Firefox 3.5.x - 10.9%
Firefox 3.0.x - 30.9%
Older Firefox - 2.6%
Total Firefox: 44.4%

Google Chrome - 10.5%
Safari - 3.6%
Opera - 3.5%
Others - 0.5%

Hope this amuses you.

I'll call this off topic

Sorry to be off topic admin, but this isn't even close to the real browser stats for the web.

Firefox is somewhere around 20-30%, and IE totalled be around 60-80%. Fill in the remainder with the insignificant browsers.

If you believe what you are posting is off-topic, do not post it here. You can discuss it elsewhere. Consider this a warning.

May as well close this. The problem did not repeat and I've been unable to replicate it, either at home or away.
