As for Chrome? yes, it's the devil. The fact it actually tracks pretty much everything you do via googles proxy settings (that you can't overwrite). Oh and rendering html differently then all other browsers?
However much I hate chrome, I wouldnt make anything not work in a specific browser, I just won't do any additional development work to make it work correctly in a specific browser.
Anyways, I was seeing some redirects back to the forums index page when not using the "www" in the URL, so if you add that it works fine.
