My apologies for the server hiccups the past day or so. We had some technical glitches yesterday due to heavy load and today we were getting hit by hacking or denial of service attempts. I have made some adjustments and blocked IP ranges that were being pesky. Hopefully all will return to normal now.

Thanks,
Jim

Yep - no joy here in the UK either, from at least 1-5pm BST. On again now, but fingers crossed!

Yes we are still having trouble with DoS attacks. Oddly based here in the U.S. and not from overseas. I have notified the hosts via their abuse emails so hopefully they will get the boot soon.

Thanks for your patience.

Thanks Jim! These guys are a real PITA when they can't find somebody deserving to attack. Don't suppose we can get a hacker-seeking missile?...
