Main page doesn't work

[justanotheranonymoususer]

http://rustbyexample.com/index.html works, but http://rustbyexample.com/ doesn't: the navigation menu isn't shown, WATCH/STAR stats aren't available, etc.

Interestingly, it does work if I try it in a private window.

For some reason, the page is cached, and refreshing it, even with Ctrl+F5, doesn't help. I don't know whether it's an issue of Firefox or of rust-by-example.

http://rustbyexample.com/index.html works, but http://rustbyexample.com/ doesn't

Those two links should serve the same page.

WATCH/STAR stats aren't available

I have only seen this behaviour when my browser points to localhost:4000 (testing the webpage locally) but my local server is not running, and I'm just viewing a cached version of the website

Looks like your browser is just showing you the cached version of the site, instead of fetching the page. You could try clearing your cache to force your browser to fetch the page again.

I couldn't reproduce this (both links work fine) on linux/firefox, linux/dwb nor in android/chrome (but, I found another bug while testing). I think you are using windows; I don't have access to a windows machine at the moment, so I can't test the same conditions.

@justanotheranonymoususer: Try these instructions out: #201 (comment)

If you're on windows, use type firefox -P into the Run dialog box (Windows-R keyboard shortcut) rather than from the terminal.

Does this still happnen I can't reproduce either. Closing until we can get more details about reproducing.
