Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I can't view the forums unless I log in. Is this just me or is this a new intentional site settings that has been put in place? I don't mind having to log in, but in case this wasn't intentional, I thought I would mention it. Quote *~ Cc4FuzzyHuggles Gallery ~* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Yeah if you look at the # of users accessing the site (bottom of the main index page), it's been bouncing toward near-1000. Normal is maybe 100-200. The spam posts loaded up the forum onto search engines, e.g. https://www.google.ca/search?q=mockingjay+part+1+full+movie+vodlocker&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=ktClVLavD4mDoQTgt4GoCQ#q=mockingjay+part+1+full+movie+vodlocker So until those "expire" or whatever, I imagine this will continue as bots fiendishly search for ways to download and propagate stupid stuff like that.

HELEN Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Does the spam have anything to do with having trouble opening up the Paint.NET program itself? I go on the program and then it freezes and kicks me out.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Spam is related to the forum only. Paint.net should be unaffected. 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 For your information. nitenurse79 is also unable to go on this forum She is getting a 404 Error.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 404 is a non existent web page. That doesn't sound like what others have been experiencing. Get nitenurse to check the URL she's using. It may be one she has bookmarked or otherwise needs to be refreshed.
