As many of you have noticed the forum speed has decreased to a crawl since COVID and I am told by many hosting companies that COVID sparked a new level of cyber criminal want-a-bees.
We average over 150 guests at any moment, I am going to turn off guest viewing for a while and see if this helps, I fear many "guests" are hackers tying to spam and collect content for malware google hits to their junk sites
-
absolutely no issues with the forum here. with many places, but not here.
-
Actually, it is slowish from where I log in. Sometimes I hit page reload and wait and wait and wait..
-
Confirmed. Would not allow viewing as guest. Had to log in.
This too, shall eventually pass. Thanks DH.
-
Normally one every 15 hits I do on our forum is slow. When I see it I just reload and it goes quick again.
-
I get a 400/403 error sometimes, usually cured by a reload, but no persistent issues.

Seems like plenty of guests still to me...

I will turn on "guest" a few days a month to allow web crawlers/ search engines

Hello good forum people!
Just had to login to see what was going on, being mostly a forum reader rather than posting, but I noticed it was asking to log in just to access the site. I guess I found some answers here.
Was wondering if the site had been hacked or hassled.
Interestingly, I also frequently read macintoshgarden.org and that site is down/not responding. I thought it was strange that both sites are experiencing issues. One of the mainstays here is active over there if I recall, are they having similar issues?
-
I was also trying to access the garden recently and it was down.

no new subscriptions are possible now. somebody just asked me why there is no mail coming.^^
