Sometimes, after I'm done in the forum, I use the back button to return to my nation. Then, sometimes, I have two identical sidebars, on the left side, right next to each other (the rightmost one is slightly lower). Has anyone else experianced this problem?

Never heard this one before....What's your browser and operating system? Might be useful information when an admin looks at this.

Hmm. I don't know much about that OS, but I know that when I time out and try to backpage to my nation, depending on what button I hit, the screen will appear without any sidebars at all. Perhaps you are timing out while on the forum, and what you describe is the effect it has on your browser?

This is the most likely explanation. Especially if you have autologin enabled (but even without).

Yes, I do have autologin enabled. One other person (as you can see) has reported experiencing the game bug but it seems to have stopped happening to me. It doesn't really matter as you can just ignore it. It's just annoying. If this problem can be fixed it would be nice but I guess it's not really necessary.

It's not really a NationStates problem. It has to do with how your browser handles html, framesets, and cookies.

I've got a shortcut to http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/ on my Links toolbar. Whenever the framesets break (often), I just click the link and all is well again.

Are you using Safari?
