No one has said a thing this morning about the big outage..

Except you, me and maybe 5 others nobody noticed

I too noticed and assumed that normal service would be resumed asap

 

[Nifty]

Sorry about the inconvenience!

Server company changed our IP address and I didn't get the memo, so I was in a mad-scramble with helpers to get things resolved.

Basically, the server and software were all fine... just the address changed and the interwebs didn't know how to connect your browser and the server together.

Should be all good now!

What does it take to rid us of this Feckin Spam… @Nifty..

Have seen a few over the past week and reported them. It seems they are getting hold of posters details that have not been around for a year or two and posting their rubbish as the original poster

The only way to stop it 100% is to turn off all new posts for all people everywhere.

Many of the ones we're seeing right now are related to a breach across the internet. Old accounts with terrible password management are being hit (like the one we just saw).

Best thing to do to stop spam like this:

1) Have good password best-practices
2) Report the spam ASAP

I don’t have a problem with hackers, so my password is very safe..
I’ve got someone better than God looking after my computer system..
