Website Downtime

[Frank]

Hi Guys,

As you know IrishAirPics.com was down for a few days recently due to issues with the message board.

Basically from what I can figure out someone tried to flood the server with requests via my message board and before the server crashed the server admins disabled the site.

I have now implemented some security patches, improved the boards security and updated the message & member database.

Basically what this means is that the board is now more secure from further attacks and therefore better protected against full website shut down.

If this happens in the future people trying to flood the system will be banned, their ip's vlocked and the message board will shut itself down if it starts to overload the server.

Sorry for any inconvienience caused, if you experience any problems using this message board post upgrade please contact me here: http://www.irishairpics.com/contact_frank.php

This message board is now fully back in business, as is all of IrishAirPics.com.


Regards,

Frank.
