Forum issues today

I'm still having problems with the site too. Keep getting page cannot be displayed and refreshing does not work. Am writing this so hopefully tech people will see as I haven't seen any information today and am finding it so difficult to get on here. I'm not on twitter so can't see any updates there.

The last time I saw these error messages, the site was under DDOS attack from the kitchen spammer guy.

It is possible to add some protection from a deliberate attack like this, but it's hard to do and can only be partially successful.

It's driving me mad!
I manage to log in, only to find the page takes ages to load, then I have the same trouble as fatbelly with an error page and can't get back on for ages.
How long till it's fixed??

I’ve had enough now :mad:

You can’t run a website like this. It’s a joke, - 2 days of it not working, and having to constantly log in and out again, or wait 5 minutes for a page to load. The problem appears to be getting worse if anything.

I’m going to log off now and leave it for a few days, see if they get their act together.

I clicked on a post and got

"This webpage has a redirect loop"

That's a new one and made me think 'no xxx Sherlock'

I'm getting that in chrome.

I keep getting time out messages when I post replies.

I'm calling it a night now, this is far too much effort

I too am back to getting time out messages when I post replies. Is there any end in sight to these problems?

Is this related just to using the old style format?

I hope this isn't just related to the old format.

I'm using the old (green) layout without any problems.

Perhaps the issues have been resolved now?







Edit.. Well, I just posted that without an error message appearing, so maybe it is ok now!

Edit. Spoke too soon. The error message appeared just now when I posted on another thread.

Nope. Still not fixed.

Guessing its a DDOS attack.
