[Bryanj]

This morning early i tried to log on and got a wierd message along the lines of not authorised check with server, us site loged on fine.

Was it just me or was the a problem?

Same here, check with host site not available.

Presumably with Steve as directed to host in message.

I got this, said I was locked out.  I thought I'd done something wrong lastnight after a few beers😆

[Athame57]

Me too, I got an error style message to say the site was suspended! Panicked  so I messaged Nurse Julie on FaceBook for moral support and confirmation it was indeed down. All is well now though.

I had the suspended message as well, refer to host??

[Bryanj]

So i hadnt done something wrong then!

[Murf]

 I had the same, “Site Suspended”
message, must have been around 9:30-10:00 when I tried.

The site is not available via Tapatalk app anymore. It was over the weekend but removed from my list and not listed under the search options.

Tapatalk doesn’t come up with SOHC with search either. I’m sure Steve could sort it.

A couple of other, and completely different, sites I use are experiencing some difficulties these last few days.

I'm not involved in administration, but there's clearly some concern and effects that seem to be compromising them that they are dealing with.

One at least is indicating some outside influence to that effect.

It's the Ruskies.🥴

[Bryanj]

Not the Chinese tarrifs?

[K2-K6]

One of my other sites of interest displays the "logged" participation including variously Bots, Scrapers, Crawlers and Spiders amongst them. All trawling for content, advertising relevancy etc.

That was having difficulty being swamped by requests from that direction, from whomsoever is behind them.  Sometimes tge list of contributors being very outnumbered by those automatically seeking content/information.

There's alot of stuff wandering around out there.
