    Just making sure all is well. I have upgraded all 5 of the forums on this server so hopefully it will help with wherever th random slowdown is coming from.

    Everything good here?

    Fine in every respect, except I now get a lot of blank space whenever someone posts a music clip or video clip etc - guessing that it is some sort of geo-blocking? Did not happen before.

    But - fast, no hanging pages, time-outs etc Thanks

    Just a test post. I just posted something in another thread and when I hit 'Post Quick Reply" it not only erased what I was posting, but never posted it either.

    Edit: Worked fine this time. Perhaps it was just a fluke!

    I finally broke down and cleaned over a year's worth of kerosene heater soot, nicotine, cigarette ashes and blown-in topsoil off my laptop screen - now I need sunglasses to look at this forum!

    LOL! You too? I do that about once every six months and I feel like I just went shopping and bought a new laptop!

    More tweaking in the background. Pretty sure I have just sped things up dramatically again.

    In reference to the problem I mentioned in the other thread, it seems that when this happens, I can't access anything that doesn't have the auto-refresh bar on it. This may not be a problem with your server at all. It might be Verizons crap DSL service. I've have more than one problem with them over the last three years. They say it's taken care off, but as soon as I get off the phone with them, the problem I have is still there, so take my observation with a grain of salt, Alex. However, the only other thing I can add is that when I have this problem with SilCo, it generally go to HA, or surf and I don't have any problems there. Hope this helps you.

    You said to let you know about this Alex, so I am. It just happened at 9:27, followed by a few minutes of no access at all. This is the first time I got back in the forum. My SilCo cookie got corrupted as well. I'm clearing it now.

    Have found and shut down huge brute force attack/hack on silco/susco.
    As a result, speed has increased dramatically for legitimate traffic.

    May take a few days to get on top of it completely but I think I am off to a good start.

    For example, my estimate is 1.5 MILLION fewer registration attempts over the next 7 days (based on the last 7).

    I love computers...I love computers...I love computers...
    just keep telling myself that.
