Hi everyone,

I made changes to the login/registration process to fend off some bot attacks we've experienced lately. They're not a security issue, but they'll hit certain pages thousands of times in a few seconds, which spikes the server load.

The changes should be completely transparent but if you have any trouble or see anything weird in login or registration please reply here or PM me.

Thanks!

I hope you are paying yourself high dollars
for all the work you are doing.

Maybe a cruise would be appropriate?

Have you considered writing a column
about coastal cruising? Your contributor
hit an iceberg?

Thanks FourPoints, fixed that just now. It was an error related to the changes mentioned above.

Hi Phil,
I am getting a 'loading' error on my iPad. It's telling me it is timing out at the server.

Huh. I've never seen that one before. The error coming up recently mentioned an outdated version of the plug-in.

Anyone else see or know this error?

I can now access the app. Not sure if you did anything on your end, but thanks!
