Try doing a force refresh, and then try clearing all caches. You must have something bad cached on your end from an update or something. Chrome on PC has been tested and we can't replicate this.

Try the cache clear / force refresh and if that doesn't work we'll go a bit deeper.

Similar for me.

OS X, Chrome

Cleared cache and quit and re-opened Chrome, no change. Video and picture links go to the picture of the person faceplanting.

Crap.

Can you try another browser and tell me if it does the same thing?

I bet you are using the "old" homepage. We've made some changes to our URL structure recently, but the old homepage wasn't updated.

Those links should get caught by a redirect, however, so I'll check into that.

At some point the old homepage will be removed since we are no longer maintaining it.

Same result with Safari.

My homescreen looks like the collage of pictures and videos and news. Is that the new or the old?

yeah, the links on the old homepage were kinda mangled. I've launching a fix now, should update in 10 minutes or so.

Go to your Account Tools, scroll down to Beta settings and enable the Homepage beta. It's the default for everybody now unless explicitly disabled, it's our current homepage.

However the old page should begin to work shortly.
