Last night(Saturday) I could not get onto this board. When I tried to get into it all I got was a buch of mumbo jumbo computer code. Anyone know why? I have talked to others who are on this board and they said the same thing happened to them. It happened around 9ish or 10ish at night.
Sorry about that! The ISP had to do some security upgrades last night (a lot of servers have been hacked in the past couple of weeks due to a new exploit that was discovered), and one of the security upgrades turned off PHP, the scripting language that drives the bulletin board. We just had to turn it back on, but first we had to figure out what was happening... sorry for the inconvenience.
