Go Up Go Down

Hello guys,

sorry for not replying to you any earlier. I had been out of town for a week and am just catching up with things. Well here is the deal:

As you may remember the whole server was shut down in early December due to a huge DDos attack. A DDos attack means that the server gets sut down as it is overwhelmed by a huge amount of request - artifically generated by some nasty guy.

As a mean to cope with this and get the site back up running a Cloud Flare protection was installed - it's a kind of firewall meant to block unwanted (malicious) traffic = DDos Attacks.

However security level has been triggered quite high, hence it may produce unwanted security means like blocking embeded photobucket or yourtube likes ... or asking you to complete a captcha.

As far as I can tell a attack was going one yesterday hence the Cloud Flare software went ahead and blocked of some of it - unfortunately including requests made by regular members.

Now what I am goint to do is reduce the security level so that Youtube links, Photobucket etc. will work again

Sorry for any inconvinience caused by this.

The Cloud Flare software was put in place to fend of any attacks to server and I am sorry it got annoying. I will do my best to straighten out things asap.

Best wishes,

Christian

Don't feel bad .    I have to cycle them about four or five times to find one I can read and then I mess it up and do it all over.

Aaaahhh. When I got the "captcha" page, I thought it was because I haven't been here in awhile. Then when I read the bottom of  the page saying something about my ISP  - I thought perhaps my computer had been hacked and was coming through a proxy server. Good to know what actually the problem is. Those stupid letters are not easy to read, but if it is necessary then so be it.
Thanks, Christian, for working on getting all of this mess  straightened out. I know it's a  pain.
