Down time

[gavin]

Hello All

We've been offline for some hours while I fixed a problem caused by one of the malicious characters out there on the Internet. I learned a few things during that time ...

There may be some more periods of down-time later, but I hope that these will be planned and short.

all the best

Gavin - If it is of any consolation, I believe other forums are having rather severe problems at the moment. It must be very frustrating and rather time consuming for you. But this gives me an excellent chance to thank you for the way you look after this forum and us, the subscibers - BIG THANKS

Thanks POPZ. I didn't know other fora had been having problems, but vBulletin have been sending out warnings about new vulnerabilities in a recent update they have been asking people to install. I may do some more site maintenance later tonight so may switch it off when the night-owls are dropping by.

Don't think so Kev, I haven't forced new log-ins. Maybe it just does it from time to time.

I've had the same problem--almost as though there is a timed response built into the system.Still a good site - tho' a bit quiet at the moment.Good work by yourself Gavin.
