Hi all,
Apologies for the problems with the forum lately. I know some of you are getting various DNS, member banned and forum not found messages among others.
Unfortunately this is something outside my control. Proboards, the forum and url hosts, are having issues with DDoS attacks to try and force them to take down certain forums resulting in outages; ultimately, this has resulted in Proboards making security changes which may affect some members gaining access to the forums.
I have been keeping an eye on the support forum support.proboards.com/ but there is no global solution.
One thing that has been noted is to try the forum address without a www, for example this link themotorforum.co.uk Some VPNs are also not allowed access, but I don't know which work and which don't.
Once again, I apologise for any inconvenience and I will update this announcement if and when anything else comes to light.
Mark.
