Some of the more astute amongst you may have noticed that we lost transmission from Phmode Towers just in time for the weekend, the wind blew down the coat hanger we use for an aerial
We have no idea what caused the problems; the site was taken down by Heart Internet because the problems were causing their server response to be degraded and although we know what they told us, we have not been able to discover what caused the problems they reported.
Our intermediate host, who is far from a forum expert but built and hosts the EuroKClub site for us, performed a fresh load of the SMF software on which the forum runs, together with re-loading the member and Topic databases so nothing was lost and we seem to have gained a few new features such as the Spell Check feature on the new-post text entry box (well spotted Costas).
We need to keep an eye on the forum over the next few days as not knowing what caused the problems means we have no way of knowing if they have been cured!
There was no evidence of us having been hacked and although the end result was a denial of service, there is no evidence of that being deliberately or maliciously triggered.
So, welcome back and if the site does suddenly disappear once more, please be patient.
