The site was/is experiencing a DDoS attack. Ss far as I'm aware, things might be a little slow now but working.

I was able to post on the web without issue.

Jeez, that's not just a server overload, I looked up what DDOS attack means. It is a deliberate disruption of a site by hacking into it and flooding the servers with insane levels of internet traffic so that normal users can't access it. That's an intentional crashing of the servers. So that's what happened yesterday?

I posted on a different topic but if you're on Safari, could you post your Safari version and try with a different browser?

Martin_Stahl

Try again now. Staff have made some adjustments they believe fixed the issue.

Any luck yet Rooster? I know I'm late to the party but have you tried logging in on a different browser?

Edit: didn't see that Martin already suggested that.

Posted elsewhere but this should be fixed now.
