forum access

[tundra lodger]

I have been experiencing intermittent extended (longer than 1 hour) lapses in my ability to access the forum for the past 10 days. Has anyone else been having this problem? Just curious....

I had trouble this morning.

[traveler4444]

I have had trouble off and on for the last few days.

[SCIwife]

I had trouble with it being very slow last night and blamed the cable, but then could not get on earlier today.
Good to see we are back on the grid now.

[Ladylocks]

yes, 2 times in the past week, server was down on my end also

[Kronberg]

Me too, a lot.

[adelle]

I had that same problem about 2 weeks ago, and then again today.

[myonly]

I had difficulty earlier this afternoon.

See, I figured it was just me.

You know, on the "Oh here he is again" list.

[LarryB]

Me too - we have been in touch with the web host and are working on it.

Thank you, everyone, for responding. And thank you, Larry, for checking into this. I had a feeling it wasn't just me.

I have sent an enquiry to the company who runs our server... Will let you know.

I just heard back from our server company... apparently there have been denial of service attacks happening in the last week. Each time, the techies have to do things on the server, and that leaves the site off the air for a while, until they can take corrective action. Sorry! It's those Internet hackers being busy.

A separate thing that happens, which may or may not be related:
If you get a message that says "Forbidden" and can't get in, take a look at the URL:
If it is https://wellspouse.org, (even though you put in http://wellspouse.org), just remove the "s" and re-enter the URL, which I did, and was able to get in fine.

Thanks Richard, and Aplonis, our web server....

[tundra lodger]

Thank you, Richard. It did seem like the website server was 'down'.

Thank you for all you do for WSA!
