We are working through another series of board upgrades to correct for security issues and to remove the trafficage link that has been inserted on the board (I'm guessing through one of those exploits). The upgrade is done, but the link is still there and I'm working with the Invision Board staff to get it removed at this time. And I'd like to thank their support people for their time and rapid assistance. Once that is complete, I'll try to get the sponsor banners and such restored to the board in the very near future.
It seems that as we are growing, we have become a more attractive target for these exploits and such. I'm beginning to realign my security concerns in response to this increased activity. Sorry for the difficulties, I hope to have them cleared up shortly. More information is here: http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/index.php?showtopic=7156 Thanks for your patience. I'll have it all worked out very soon. Kevin |

Thank you! It was so slow it was basically unusable for me since Friday...click on something, switch tabs and surf somewhere else for 10 minutes, check back to see if the page had loaded.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
But all better now. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/drink.gif) |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/drink.gif) Oddly, I didn't see it on my work or home machines (and mine didn't slow down at all). However, when I switched to my Linux machine and Mozilla, I saw it trying to load and it really hung up the pages. It appears that hackers found another hole and I didn't know that there was an update available until I went looking (in response to this problem). I've still got a few things to sort out, but it looks like we are back in business and running properly again. Sorry for the problems. I keep trying to fix them as fast as I can and I'm getting a crash course in this software. I'm getting much better at getting around and getting things (some things) done. |
