UPDATE1: Looks like it is Chrome doing it. Safari and FF look fine.
UPDATE2: Chrome was giving me 404 errors for four files, but now it's fine.

Nevermind.

UPDATE3: Screenshot disappeared and gave "does not exist" after I posted this post initially after sketch. I just uploaded it again to the OP.

Strange things afoot with the website...

My results are mixed, too. I have also found that the main Go/Search box in the left sidebar does nothing but bring up an empty Special:Search page.

Clearing cache caused the appearance to revert to the screwed up version. Until I did that, it at least looked ok.

I'm thinking the forum and wiki challenges are likely related. Images are going missing on both repeatedly.

I got an email from Amit earlier with basically the same response as Kent posted. Anchors do appear to be working, but because search is broken in general from the sidebar, redirects aren't working either.

Yeah, kinda. But from the sidebar, searching automatically uses the Go button, so searching for redirected terms like "conversations" should redirect immediately to the Update Requests page. This is totally broken. And all that sidebar does, regardless of which button you click, is take you to an empty search page, so you have to type it in again. This time, there's no auto-redirect because it is only a Search box.
