• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Slow forum .....update

AS OF RIGHT NOW : the issue has been corrected .... I wonder what happened to the system .... Mike :thumbup:
 
There are 83 members and 2983 guests logged in right now

We have been closer to 100 members & 4000 guests at any one time so far today (well, while I've been watching during my day here in Oz anyway - it's about 13:35 here atm ;) ) But it does look like it's dropping off now as your 'Other side of the World' night-time progresses! We're down to 50 members & 3420 guests now, but over 400 members have visited in the last 24 hours... :rolleyes:

Still doesn't really explain why it's running so slow tho?! I tried looking at the activity, ie. who was doing what, to see if we had some dodgy 'never posted before' registered accounts trying to flood the Forum with searches or other intensive activity; but on a 'user by user' basis, I can't do that fast enough to really get a good picture.... :banghead: Did have a couple/few that looked a bit suss, but as I said, just a couple/few, shouldn't make THAT much of a difference?? :dontknow:
 
At the present time 5:30 am there are 43 registered users and 3217 guests logged in. Some hacker is attempting to bring down the system via MANY guest logins doing queries.
I send a PM to admin yesterday but no help or response.
 
A number of messages have been sent, so there's probably not too much more we can do at the moment. :dontknow:

Sorry about the inconvenience, but at least it's still running, even if it IS veeerrrry slow! :rolleyes:
