Todays issues were actually network issues, I thought they were DDOS attacks as well, which we have been having for the last little while,a concerted effort to cause trouble. We've had these in the past. To be honest i'm not sure that the spam is connected, although it might be, the spam is a hard one as it's real people joining and doing it, we're blocked thousands of IPs and even some countries but there's always some from somewhere that get through because they are real. We had one today that i sorted out 3 times and each time he joined with a different IP (after the previous one was blocked)

Such is life though, we're getting some updates done soon (i expected them to be done already) which will help some more.

In regards to the reporting, thanks to you all for that, especially yesterday when there was some distasteful stuff posted. I would say though that if there's someone putting up lots of spam posts just report one, we stop them and then check all their posts and we can bulk remove/delete them.

Thanks all
T

I have had a few error messages when logging on tonight. I can get to the home page but when I try to log on I get ...

Following that I have to shut down Explorer in order to try again.

Is it my machine or a clitch at your end?

I also had trouble logging in but using Safari as I use a Mac. After several attempts I did log in but everything seems to be running in slow motion.

There are a few issues still being dealt with so please bear with us. If you have trouble logging on, go make a brew and then try again....9 times out of 10 you should be ok

I'm having some problems, I can only post messages through the quick reply box. I can't quote people, send PMs or post new threads, it just takes me to a blank page. Posting here is the only way I can think of being able to tell someone :p

I think it might be a problem just with this computer, I tried posting from a different computer and that worked but this one is still getting the blank screen so there shouldn't be any problem with BCUK :p Sorry to bother you :)
