Since approximately 7:30 EDT (GMT+5), no one except administrators have been able to view individual threads within the forum of either The SCP Foundation or 05 Command. The Access permissions of both sites are set to Closed— anyone can view, but membership is restricted— and have been since I can remember. I suspect this is due to a global change Wikidot made somewhere (possibly related to the announcement of Community Sites— pure speculation on my part, but the timing is quite a coincidence [grin]). Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, on behalf of the thousands of readers who can't access our fora.
We're working on it right now!
I am terribly sorry about this issue — there was a bug in a new feature we have introduced related to private categories.
Unfortunately, some "locked" pages on public categories were affected.
We missed the bug during the test phase since it manifested in very rare cases. Still, it was difficult to find even when we started working on it right now.
The issue is now fixed. Although we worked as quickly as we could, I realize it caused troubles. Our apologies!
Thank you for reporting it though!

Great, thank you!
Some of our (scp-ru) pages are marked as Private as well. For example, one of the users reported http://scp-ru.wikidot.com/scp-337 as Private.
This issue is fixed, we are checking it deeper to catch boundary issues.

Apparently the chatroom on one of my sites was private to only admins earlier today (despite usually being accessible to anonymous users).
Just read a report from a user, mentioning the issue. I did a quick test, and it seems to be fixed now.
