Has the site been down again? I've not been able to load all evening.

It has been down on my end as well and is dreadfully slow. Uploading pics etc earlier today was a bit of a trial.

I figured I crashed it when I sent Skipper four pictures for an article I submitted. Oops. :-)

I hate it when it's down, I have to go to Track Link.

Apparently the memory fix was not the only problem going on. My guess is that we have some hacking attempts running in the background that at times get to heavy for the server (so the firewall shuts down the outside link to the server).

We may be changing over to a new host if this keeps up. One that monitors their IPs and automatically eliminates these root level hacking attempts.

Cheers,
Jim

Hi Jim

It's great to see the Big A up and running again.

We were wondering last night whether the flooding in Georgia from the aftermath of Hurricane Dennis might be the culprit...

All the best

Rowan
