•••FORUM CRASH AND REBUILD. Repair underway.
Posted: 27 Jul 2018 13:36
The forum was attacked by a hacker. This resulted in the database having to be reconstructed from a back-up.
During the reconstruction process all posted images were corrupted and many are now lost. Images fed from external links are not affected.
There are back-up copies of many of the images and these will be restored over time. Members who posted images which are now corrupted are free to repost the images in the original location.
Some links to pictures are also broken, these are being restored.
We also lost all of the add-ons which added functionality. Some of these are vulnerable to hacking, so they will not be used again in the future.
Other than that, we are back in business.
