Sorry all for the slow server but we have been subject to a DDOS attack - why they bother I have no idea. Anyway I have the tech team looking at ways to stop them and to hopefully restore normal service asap. Steve aka big boss

Thanks Steve. Well done for stopping them. Seems everything at the moment is either under attack or update errors that take down the likes of microsoft server stuff. Always sooo happy when normal service resumes. Appreciate your efforts big boss man.

Yes, seems to be happening more and more often. A scammer generated over 12,500 links to Chinese online gambling sites. It was so complex that I had to get the support team to help out. Grrrr - at least service is back to normal now.

Am I the only 1 who gets a blank screen (apart from the logo at top left) when I enter the Home page? Also happens when I click on the logo from the Forum - which takes you to the Home page. I can (only) open up the forums directly but can't access all the other info pages. It's been like this for a few days now.
