Recent SQL Error Messages

Postby Jefecinco » Tue Feb 25, 2025 10:38 am

For the past few days I get an SQL message when attempting to use the site. I second try always works. Any idea if it's me or the site?

The problem is only on the forum, as the rest of the website works fine. I have been out of town for several days, and I just got back. I will look into solving it.

UPDATE: I have found a temporary cure for the problem, but I will have to investigate further to really fix it.

Still working on this problem. It seems like it is caused by a malicious denial of service attack.

UPDATE: I am still working on this problem with help from my service provider.

At this moment, Sunday, March 9, about 11 a.m. EDT, I just implemented a significant change. The immediate effect seems to have been positive. But I will have to wait several hours to see if the forum access has really improved.
