Hello,

There are some things to sort, this will take time. Hopefully not weeks, months. But it will be days at least to get the basics back. Not quite true, as the very basic: posting is working. The profile generates errors, all plugins are disabled and the suite doesn't have the CMS enabled either.

Bots become pesky, more so than last week. I'm a little bit baffled that a new product doesn't stop them for at least a few weeks. I will need to look carefully into anti-bot measures. I tried to sign up for something only yesterday and the anti-bot measures prevented me for about 15 minutes to sign up: error, error, error, because I probably failed to read the random string properly. I needed it, so I persisted, otherwise I would leave again. I guess todays average bot has less trouble with it than I do It will take time to get a acceptable system.

We haven't any now, and bot content becomes explicit and malicious, so, I suspended registration for now. Not nice, but our current members and lurkers can at least enjoy these forums like they are supposed to be.

I'll probably need answers from Jelsoft to fix some errors, they seem afk now. I'll browse around and investigate myself, but there's no guarantee that I'll find answers/solutions today.

Some pictures may be missing, but that has to do with location and/or filesystems only I think. Nothing is deleted.
