Server goofed up!

[Wilbur]

We've got a bit of a problem with the server. It seems that some folks got in an unlocked door and are using this server to attack other servers. As always, I don't understand what I know about this but working on it. The server provider turned the server off this morning and with some pleading (hasn't come to folding money yet) they turned us back on with a deadline.

While working on the problem, I'm going to do a clean install of this forum software, upgrade the link program, and some other stuff too scary to mention. It's an old site with old files. I probably should just let go and start fresh but alas I'm a pckrat by nature.

All that to say this - The look and feel of the forum may be interrupted momentarily as we try to fix the "intrusion". Additionally, the links on the home page may not function for a while.

Thanks for any patience you may have,
Wilbur

Wilbur,
It sounds like you have some very long days ahead. When people complain about updates and downtime they do not have a clue on what it takes to make all your web sites work.
Thanks again for what you do in the support of Benchrest.

Wilbur life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's learning to dance in the rain.

Wilbur,
I also work with web sites and I feel your pain. Take it slow, do the diagnostics, clean things out and move on. Thanks for taking the time to let folks know about the situation.

Good luck,

Best,
Michael
