WHAT Happened ?

[sailme88]

This forum has been unavailable for several weeks . I was concerned that it had lost its moderator and subsequently folded. Has any one else had recent issues getting to the site ?

Take a look at this thread:

SBO moved to new servers and there were some issues.

Rest assured the forum staff are alive and well.

About 2 weeks ago there was a security update on the SBO site which caused a few issues. Most of the issues were resolved within a day or two, however, some members were not able to access the site until yesterday. The problems are were random and difficult to isolate. See this thread for some more information.

Connection thru Spectrum internet is now restored.

I lost access around May 25th and whenever I tried to access SBO it would never show up on any of my searches using my desktop. I figured somebody bought the website and decided to make it better using AI I only found it today by clicking the address on my search bar out of habit. There are a couple other earlier threads that mention the problem others have had.

I thought I'd been blocked, again.

No @capta. You were not singled out for your wisdom. It was a collective action.

Since you are now back, I look forward to your insights.
