Site Outage
by Guest- 3 replies
- 2.3k views
If you visited within the past 24 hours, please accept my apology for the site outage. The good news: The site is continuing to grow in content and membership. The bad news: The server resources the site uses has also grown. Yesterday a tipping point was reached and we "thrown in jail" by our host's "bandwidth police". So what do we do now? I made a few adjustments and I hope that we will stay out of trouble for a bit. However, we we will likely have to upgrade the hosting plan in the near future. This will require me to migrate all the site files and databases to a new provider, not a fun job. A better host will obviously increase the site's operating cost, s…

Gallery Issues

- 3.7k views
All, The updated templates (site look) has caused some issues with the gallery. I am working to restore it's functionality and images. Unfortunately, I don't have a time frame for the fix. In fact, there is the possibility that I will be forced to go back to the old templates to correct it and/or may not be able to restore the images. I realize this is the third time that we have had issues with the gallery, I apologize for that. Please keep in mind that I have no formal training at this stuff and have to learn by trial and error and I have been learning more than I would like by error as of late. If I am unable to restore the images, I will have to ask me…

First, thanks to all those who have e-mailed, texted, pm'ed, etc regarding the site going down. I was heavily involved in restoring the site and did not answered the majority, for that I apologies. I truly appreciate the concern, support and offers of assistance. Here's where we are: The site was hacked last week and multiple malware scripts were loaded to the site. Fortunately, they were just annoying (triggering antivirus alerts, etc.) and not harmful to member's computers. They have been removed and the site has passed a malware scan by Google. Please let me know if your software detects anything. Since the site was down, I chose to proceed with an upgrade …
