How is this even possible? (Minor UI bug)

So I was scrolling the "Watches for sale" section last night, at some point I closed the lid on my laptop and went to bed (which means it lost connectivity).
When I went back to my laptop the tab was still open but notice the marked areas-

I know that some sites auto reload and a connection lose could mean an error page or some CSS not to load properly but this is very strange!
Was OF once THF? That's the only possible explanation I could think of.

The other forum is a "sister" forum from what I understand, and our logins work there as well apparently.

I used to get this happen to me quite often, but it seems to have died down over the last while.

Prob just a minor UI bug loaded the C11 header by accident. That's the dealer watch sales section of OF though, so you were still definitely on omegaforums.net as your browser shows.

Just OF and C11, the owner of Calibre11 David is another Aussie and when he asked us to work with him we were happy to.

PS let us know if you see this too often, its a very rare caching error that can sometimes cause the wrong banner but if its happening frequently we need to identify and fix it.

My first good watch was a TAG Heuer F1 Chronograph, many people got into Swiss watches via TAG, its a great gateway drug, nothing wrong with them at all and there are some truly amazing vintage Heuers worth owning like the 2447SN. Although we're Omega Forums you'll find a lot more welcoming and acceptance of other brands as Omega is an extremely broad and inclusive church.
