This may or may not be relevant, but I noticed that the default settings on the board changed for me randomly a day or two ago and I had to set them again manually. I logged in and it looked like the entire salty section had been reduced to a handful of threads...until I had my coffee and realized that the filter options at the bottom of the screen had been reset. This has happened to me a couple of times before during my years here (correlating with changes to the board if I recall, but it was at least 2 years back the last time it happened), so I thought I'd toss it out there just in case the same thing happened to anyone else. I don't know what causes it since cookie clears and such have never had any effect on that feature for me.
