Don't know if this situation is connected to the power issues but I've been getting a great deal more adware and spurious interruptions since the board was down then put back on line. Windows XP-Pro....(firewall on) doesn't seem up to the task of blocking this junk and my googgle toolbar keeps telling me it's blocking ads....

I've picked up one trojan and deleted several adwar bombardments.

One might reasonably speculate that after ten years and millions of patches and "updates" Microsoft Windows would be able to assure some level of security but hey...its Windows...a lousy product that's been pushed to the top of the heap by companies that care more about hawking products than concerned with being associated with a quality product. Just like everything else to emerge from the technological boom....lots of products mostly junk and little effort at quality of any kind.

Dexter: This site would not ever go down permenantly without giving members the opportunity, well in advance to collect anything they may have posted or to backup their private messages. Expect CC to be online for many years to come!

Statements like this are just one of the many reasons why I will be buying the first round.

Weird time stamp on some posts. I posted in one thread, and just before this posted in another, and the first post came back as the last one posted chronologically when I went to forum home. Quirky.

Update:

We experienced some more downtime earlier today. They had some issues with routing in the data centre which screwed our DNS service. I was planning on getting us over to the backup server today, the day before the expected replacement of the power supply systems.

I've moved the forums over to another server as a backup so hopefully these issues are a thing of the past.

I'm thoroughly disappointed in the way this has been dealt with by the data centre staff.
