I HATE Hackers

Hi guys,
OK so the site has been down about a day due to dickhead hackers. Thanks to Melbourne IT and their tech support guys for getting us up and running again, especially on a Sunday.....big 'thumbs up" guys!!!

Great work Ray and Melbourne IT *cue clapping emoticon*

Glad to see there was no permanent damage Ray - either to the site or yourself! We just had a 7-hour outage ourselves at LSP, thanks to our stupid host removing the DNS entry for the forums.

I saw that Kev.....interesting weekend for both LSP and A/CAM. Hopefully neither site will have these events occur again.

OK guys,
There still appears to be a technical issue with most areas of the site. You may notice that when on the "Home" page and trying to access all other tabs, (except the "Forums" tab thankfully), an "Error 404" message appears. This has been reported and is currently under review and investigation. This may well be as a result of the recent site hacking.
As the "Forums" seem to be the only part of the site that is routinely used by the regulars A/CAM membership, (makes me wonder why I am paying for all the other features ), this issue does not appear to have had to much of a negative impact on A/CAMers to this point.

Swinish behaviour by some pimple faced nerd with no life I suspect.

OK folks.....we are still having significant issues accessing other areas of the site. This is being worked on by our Melbourne IT tech support team, but it is a slow and laborious process. Due to the severity of the recent hacking incident, what is required is effectively a "back of house" complete site rebuild....tab by tab . Fortunately the A/CAM forum is unaffected due to it being a stand-alone site "add on", that is used under license from phpBB, (geez...am I glad I went this way with the forum, or otherwise the site as a whole would be currently "dead in the water").
I will advise when the rest of the site is back up and functioning. Thanks for your patience and please accept my apologies for any inconvenience.

OK folks....well it looks like all Site tabs are functioning again, (thanks Melbourne IT). Could everyone give em a crack so that I know with certainty that we have fixed the problems.
Thanks
