    I'm trying to work with our host, I'm getting fed up with it as well guys......

    I may have to lock the site down for a while and try to figure out what in the heck is going on. I've got too many irons in the fire......

    I have to wonder if there is a way to keep guests and robots off. with 5,000 to 10,000 "guests, that has to be a problem. In addition, when the Iran problem went berserk, that is when I noticed the large increase in that. Even my junk mail has gone berserk lately.

    Yea I'm considering making the forum private for a while (members only) to see where the hacks are coming from. We closed off alot of needless foreign traffic and it made the site a whole lot better.....

    We sure appreciate what you do for the forum. I like it here, well, in the afternoons when you can actually log in, anyway. ;) But it has been frustrating lately (as I'm sure it has been for you, too). It has been offered before, but I'd be open to some kind of supporter/membership option to help financially, if it were ever offered. But weeding out the bot and spam traffic is a great thing, either way. Thank you again.

    Making the forums private (members only) is a great idea and should be tried immediately. :handshake:

    I had that error message this AM as well. This afternoon, it’s zipping along great and no issues uploading resized pics.

    Keep us posted Scotty! Happy to chip in for a membership fee to keep the servers humming along. I really enjoy this forum and all the advice and comradery.

    I agree with everyone else, thanks for all the effort you are putting into the site Scotty Overkill and let us know what we can do to clean the site up again.
