I had problems with out board almost all day yesterday and the day before, other than and hour or two.
Anytime I'd get on, everything looked fine, but when you clicked on something the board would immediately flash back to the homepage.
Just to get on I had to logoff -- and left this message posted in my "news header".............

SERVER PROBLEMS -- If you are having trouble logging on, or your screen keep flashing back to the HomePage, please follow these steps ---- Logout > click on Login icon > leaving the signin info BLANK, very QUICKLY click the Login button> screeen should stabilize > you will get an ERROR message, asking you to Login again > now Login using your ID and Password

Some people have been able to get on, but others using IE I guess are still having trouble -- site traffic all but died yesterday.

Still having problems today --- so I don't know what's up.

i think that was a different problem i had it yesterday, apparently if you ask the members on your forum that have *bookmarked (favourited) ur forum, tell them to
*delete the bookmark,
*type in the url again
*re bookmark
the members on my forum said it worked as they were getting re directed.

Hey Patrick,
I hope you don't mind, but I just sent you a forum message with a potential fix/help to this rediculous old school 1980's ddos attack.

I hope what i sent you will be of some help!!
