I have just cleared the site data for PF
Did you clear only the site data or also the cached files? I think the cached files are more important.

After posting that, I tried clearing the browser cache as well. Still the same.

Ok, my bad... I just noticed the dropdown that lists "last hour" through to "all time" that controls the scope of deletion. I set it to "all time" and tried again... All OK now.

I didn't do anything, but kept checking to see if it was fixed. Glad to say that the website is back to normal today :)
