Steve S Posted June 11 Report Posted June 11 This morning we had a bot attack to our site, presumably in an attempt to hack into it. Freeola spotted the attack and suspended the site. they have implemented a fix to stop the type of attack used. Unfortunately this may have stopped some features working. Mark is onto the problem to get us back to full working order, hopefully not too long but we can't guarantee that. We will keep you posted here. The site will be down at some point today while an upgrade is applied. Jim 1 Quote

Steve S Posted June 12 Author Report Posted June 12 Mark has implemented a work round that should allow the site to work properly even with another of the same bot attack. Let us know here if you find anything broken. Jim and Maverick Martin 2 Quote
Steve S Posted July 23 Author Report Posted July 23 We are having another bot attack on our site. The site is just about continuing to work, patience is advised Jim 1 Quote
Maverick Martin Posted July 23 Report Posted July 23 my access was intermitent this am but seems ok now Quote
Steve S Posted 22 hours ago Author Report Posted 22 hours ago We have had further bot attacks on our website causing some pages to show as unavailable for a time then be ok later. Mark and Oli are moving where our domain name is registered and front ending our site with Cloudflare, this should filter out the bot traffic and allow the site to behave normally. 🤞 great white, Wight Magic, Colin-58 and 2 others 1 4 Quote
Jim Posted 20 hours ago Report Posted 20 hours ago I'm on Various forums and another one I'm on was acting up this morning as well. I won't use the words on here that I'm currently thinking. Oh dear. Oh my! That sort of thing. Maverick Martin 1 Quote
