Whats going on with the forums ??

[Deleted member 22229]

Was there some major change in the forums here today ? Its been unreachable most of today and now its hit and miss. Is it something with my ISP or am i going nuts ?

Good to know others had issues. Tim any official word on what happened ? It seemed like a major crash at my location.

According to Twitter, SNB was hit by a DDOS.

Thanks Merlin, I guess nothing is safe in cyber land..

Sorry for the problem

Tough day today. Had a combination of problems, some of which may have been self inflicted due to a new site format we were trying to launch.

We'll see how it goes tomorrow.

Just an FYI.....editing a forum entry and trying to switch to 'Go Advanced', gets a 'Sorry, You have been blocked' page....CloudFlare Ray ID: 199bc231408e07d9

 

[thiggins]

Sorry about that. I'm looking into it.

 

[thiggins]

Anyone else have the problem? I just tried it and didn't get the block message.

Well....I just retried after I saw your post, and it worked fine where it consistently failed before. Thanks for the quick response. Chalk it up to the gremlins......

EDIT: Spoke too soon....now get the 'blocked' page when trying to upload an attachment CloudFlare Ray ID: 199c10cd87f00691

 

[john9527]

Bump for previous edit....upload attachment not working.

 

[thiggins]

I changed a setting since your last post.

How big an attachment were your uploading. I just tried a < 1 MB one and it was fine.

10KB zip file.....just tried again with the same 'blocked' result.

 

[thiggins]

Probably doesn't like the zip.

Sorry for the hassle, but I have clamped security down since the DDOS yesterday. I am still tweaking security settings.

 

[john9527]

Understandable.....I temporarily put it up on my download site. If you decide to allow it again, please drop a quick entry here.

Glad to see the forum back up. Is it stable now or is there more work in progress ?

 

[IAAI]

why would anyone pick on this website ?


guys is the website slow for everyone or it's just me ?

 

[john9527]

Still hit or miss for me.....many timeout or server down msgs from CloudFare.

 

[Pierino]

Same here.

 

[thiggins]

Still under attack

DDOS continues, sometimes worse than others.

Many server changes made today to adjust to this "new normal" (at least for the time being).

So we're better than we were, but not done with this attack yet.
