swimmermom3 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I am so grateful for the boards being back up and appreciate the effort it took to get them there. I have noticed that it takes a long time to move from thread to thread. Is this a result of additional security or my computer, although this is the only site I am having a speed issue with.

charcat13 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I noticed this as well. Still better than no orum at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocelotmom Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 It's undoubtedly a result of the added security or the attack itself. On another thread, it said that the CloudFlare browser-check business would only happen if there was an attack actively happening, and presumably the slow-down is related to either this or the ridiculously high traffic that occurs during a DDOS attack. So definitely look at it as a trade-off for being able to use the site at all, and it should improve when the attack ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmos Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 So definitely look at it as a trade-off for being able to use the site at all, and it should improve when the attack ends. I sure hope so! It's taking 10 seconds or more to load every page for me, which makes it unusable. I'll check back in a few days to see if it's any better.

[email protected] Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The site *is* still under attack, which is why it's moving slowly. OtherJohn is taking additional steps to solve the problem. Hang in there! Moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thia7278 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Thank you for opening back up. I realize it probably would be a lot simpler to just shut down for a few extra days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleWonders Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Does the added security include the "prove you are not a robot" part before you are allowed to post? I responded to a thread and then pretty quickly responded to another post within the same thread (forgot to add something before I hit post the first time). Before the site would allow me to post, I had to enter the random strings of letters/words like what you find on blogs (I'm sorry I don't know the technical name).

Sahamamama Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Oh, I just read upthread about the attacks. Sorry this is happening. Do actual people do this? Why? Don't they have other things to do? I don't understand computers at all. Or people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
