I still can't get it on Mozilla.  I just tried IE and no issues getting it.

Did you try clearing your browser's cache? I am running Mozilla Firefox (on linux at home) and Firefox on XP here at work and both are working fine.

There is a problem with the new server.  We hope to have it resolved soon.  Thank you for your patience!

No luck here either. It seems to be really screwed today.

Aren't they doing a website and facility move this weekend?

I think they said they hoped to have both done by April 2nd or 4th.

Right now, something 'fishy' seems to be up. The metadata is trying to direct to a www. free 20 dot com whatever that is and an "adult" site as well.... When I tried to load the site, the windows installer popped up to install microsoft word. Hang on..and lets see what the powers that be says...but I suppose a hack has happened myself.

Well... it looks like something pretty bad has taken place.  :( We have staff working on this now...

I'm pretty upset that this is the 2nd time this year for this - and I'm doing something about it. Please forgive me for saying this - but our success has not gone unnoticed and at times I get some pretty angry mail about all sorts of stuff...

I'm going to be working the phones on Monday in our new digs and talking to a few of the experts out there that are offering their advice, etc. I'm not taking this quietly this time...

Success has it's downsides at times - and this is one of them...

Most humbly...

Glad to see you are on it, Mark.  It looks pretty nasty - I was afraid with the move and all that you guys might not be aware until tomorrow.  Should have remembered it takes a lot more than a move to keep you off the forums.  Good luck with getting it fixed and I wish nothing but nasty things to whatever scumbags did it.

Glad I am not the only one!  This is the first time with my new computer that any popups got through, and was trying to get to the forum.

Clicked the button to get to the forum and a pic of a half naked chick popped up, and I got one of those messages "porn found on your harddrive"

Then a bunch of pop ups for hard drive cleaners, and spam protectors, and all kinds of crazy stuff.

We are working hard to get it fixed...

I received the same SPAM garbage also... first time I had ever seen a pop up on my mac...   :x

More later...

Best...

It seems to be able to push pop-ups even through Firefox, which is impressive (in a bad way).

Glad to know you guys are on it though Mark.

We are back on line...

We were in fact DIRECTLY TARGETED - this has been confirmed...

Sadly...

That's pretty scary, that it would break through FF and even happen on a mac too, which means they must know what they're doing.  I don't get this whole "targeting success" thing.  What are we coming to.  Glad to hear you're back in action though, especially with the joy of Cali startup happening.  Tom

Is the forum offline again?  I can't get to it from any of my available connections and I had a few friends try as well.  All with no success.  :scratch:

The data center just lost its outbound connection... there are about 1000 servers offline right now  :o

They expect connectivity to be restored any moment now...
