Re: Forum Account Suspended!
Apparently it was a Distributed Denial of Service attack from India which caused the hosting company to suspend the Forum. Our webmaster helped to resolve the issue. Apologies for any inconvenience.Robert

Sorry for the delays in getting the forum back online - there were several compatibility issues going from version 4 to version 5.
Version 5 has better systems in place for managing server load, and can also run on more up to date versions of PHP and database software, which also reduce server loading.
During the period before the initial suspension of the forum it was getting more than 1000 registration requests a minute from Russia, Ukraine India and several other countries. This used so many server resources that our hosting company suspended the site to prevent other sites on the same server from failing.
The look is quite different - as is the administration system - several things have moved.
There are still several things which are causing errors, mainly using when using Safari, I'm working through them and fixing them as they show up and the cause can be identified.
Regards
