If you go to www.cityofheroes.com and look at the top-right corner of the page, there should be a link labeled "Continue to cityofheroes.com"
1) Go to www.cityofheroes.com
2) Click on the "Continue to cityofheroes.com" link in the top right
3) Enjoy.

Yeah, it is an annoying PITA. But that is what bookmarks are for.
Edit: Haha Tex is a rookie.
Click either the Official Site tab or the City of Heroes link in the lower right of this page. Or go to www.cityofheroes.com
Once the page loads, click the Continue to cityofheroes.com link in the upper right of the page.
EDIT: Three nearly identical responses in less than a minute. Must be a rather obvious thing to do.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Noone sees a problem with either of these two things?
1) www.cityofheroes.com does not take you to www.cityofheroes.com right away.
2) Clicking the Official Site button at the top of the forums does not take you to the main site?

That's not the same site. That's the NCSoft games site.

Refresh the page or clear your temporary internet files. One or the other should resolve that.

Doh. Feel stupid I didn't try that. Cache dump did the trick. I blame the pre-coffee status for my slowness this morning.

"Search this Site" can be used to get ya there, though. FWIW this is on Firefox 6.0.2. Haven't tested any other browsers. And probably won't soon get around to it. |
Is there a Firefox 6 now? I thought 4 was the latest? Is this a beta release or something?
Works for me in Opera, Chrome and FF3.6

I don't believe it's a beta. The main Mozilla page directs to what appears a general download of Firefox 7.0 actually.

There's a Firefox 7 that's just been released, 8 is in Beta and 9 in Alpha; it's part of their current "We must copy whatever Chrome does for no apparent reason" approach to browser development.

Oh well, I gave up on Firefox ages ago anyway, I've used Opera for years and Chrome is my second browser. I do wonder why Mint hasn't offered to update Firefox though?|

The only versions of IE I run are Virtual machine installs of IE6/7/8 for checking sites for corporate clients (sob)

Appears to be an issue with Chrome (14.0.835.186 m for Windows). Appears fine for me on Firefox but, Chrome is messed up. In fact once I get to http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/index.php in Chrome though several clicks, the background is messed up.|

I'll be darned, clearing the cache worked.
Weird that I've been doing that for a long time, it used to work, it works now, but at some point it did NOT work and that's the page that got cached and stayed cached. Oh well. Thanks!

What I see for the landing page
What I see for the main page
Seems like something is off somewhere. Clearing cache does not resolve it and the link was there yesterday.
EDIT: It has been fixed now for me on Chrome. Not sure what the issue was...

/whereami:
I have the same problem as Rad. At work, the landing page has a button that takes me to the Forums just fine. However, at home, that button doesn't exist. All I get is "Search the Site" (which doesn't work) and "Language".
I have to go through the "Learn More" button and click a few times to get here.
Please try my arcs:
Arc# 63910 "Why Do Bad Girls Like Bad Boys?" (length=Long, levels 40+)
Arc# 401500 "How to Be a Successful Professional Criminal" (length=Very Long, levels 1-10)
In the top-right hand corner, there's a link that says, "Continue to cityofheroes.com". Click it.

I'm afraid I don't have that. I only have "Search this site" and Language at the top. It's a firefox issue. If I use IE I have it at the top.

Yes Mozilla is doing something really stupid with Firefox right now. For some bizarre reason they decided that things would be better if instead of calling new updates of Firefox ... 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 etc that they call them 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, etc. The problem is that lots of websites are designed to check the release number and for major changes in the number block the new browser until it has been confirmed as working. |

And Firefox releases a new update every 6 or so weeks.

It might be a specific version of Firefox issue, because I am on FF3.6 and have it. (I haven't upgraded FF because I hate the new layout they've got. |

I guess it's true, "you can't go home again."
I am used to going directly to the forums when I come here (http://boards.cityofheroes.com/), and, when I want to read the main COH site (which used to be at http://www.cityofheroes.com/ -- almost always to look under /news/patch notes) I would just hit Statesman up at the top, or the "OFFICIAL SITE" tab at the top left. But now both of those take me to the Learn more about Freedom" splash page (http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/freedom.php). Before launch, that page used to have an "OFFICIAL SITE" tab which took me where I want to go, but that's gone now.
I can drill down through the Freedom splash page (curiously, "Home" does NOT get me to the home page, but "Community" does) and discover that what I think of as the "home page" is now http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/index.php.
Is there some way to get there in fewer clicks and less memorization of goofy things like "remember Community means Home?" I know I could set a bookmark, but I go there so seldom it seems like a waste of bookmark space. I can't recall seeing a site that made it so difficult to get to the "main" page. Why can't I go from these forums to http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/index.php with a single click again?
It's like they want to make sure that people who mostly read the forums know there's a game you can pay for. I think we know that already.
