The forum was down due to a DDOS. 

 

The divert sounds like malware on your pc, would recommend giving it a clean.

I thought would be it; just cleaned it yesterday, so I guess the relevant update from spybot hasn't come through yet?

Trojan Paul ??.

[Paul]

Trojan Paul ??.

 

No probably not, it's on his pc not the forum or anything - so he's probably just picked up some malware from a dodgy site somewhere.

i just got a "checking your browser" message before finally getting on to the site....is this because of the DDOS?

[Paul]

Yes, that's the ddos protection we're running. 

[Timmytour]

Yes, that's the ddos protection we're running.

Cheers Paul...suspected it was but always worry a bit that something's go onto my laptop!

[Methuselah]

Yes, that's the ddos protection we're running. 

I got that too. So what I've got can't be dangerous?

[Paul]

Everyone will see that message on their first visit for now Pete, it's not checking for anything dodgy on your PC, it's just making sure you're a legit user rather than a dodgy attack bot type thing!

[Methuselah]

Ah.

[Mokidugway]

Ohhh...

[johnholmes]

It seems to do that check each time I log on, 3 times last evening, and would not allow me in; just now another check but then okay and the link worked, last evening let me in one occasion but nothing would open on the forum?

[Paul]

You were probably visiting while the initial attack was still affecting the servers John, it'll check your browser periodically, all the time we've got the mitigation switched on.

[johnholmes]

thanks Paul, I wondered what was happening as the main site was okay, model output etc.

[Paul]

Yep, the attack was only on the forum side.

Hello Paul

 

 Is todays  (26th October ) photo on the home page from Scotland as the pond looks very familiar to me.?

[Paul]

No, that one's from Sussex

[Northernlights]

Hi Paul Thanks for the reply

[William Grimsley]

Hi! For some reason, I cannot seem to either upload a profile picture or syncronise my Facebook one?

Any ideas?

[Paul]

There's a thread already running for this, and posts in this thread just 1 page back.

Hi Paul

 

I keep getting an error trying to load up parts of net weather last couple of days and my browser just says host has been notified and will be investigated etc.

 

Is this my browser or my internet playing up or is there a couple of issues of late? More specifically I currently cant load the home page or weather forecast currently and getting the message below -

 

An Error Has Occurred: Please try the refresh button or the back button on your browser and try again.
The error has been logged and will be investigated.

That seems very odd, I've not seen any other reports of issues. Just to test - the homepage isn't working for you now?

If not, could you perhaps try in another browser and see if that helps?
