Mick,

I don't know for sure. I did have this happen once before.

Here is what I think is happening.....

The InMotion web hosting service has proven to be quite unreliable up to this point. The server keeps going down at random. Not for very long....But if someone is on the forums doing something when that happens, the files get corrupted. The critical files that give them their identity here.

The last time this happened it was also times to another one of these events.

It was down again this morning.

I was able to restore that member from the backups. Looks like I may have to go back to the office today to do that again. [smiley=tickedoff.gif]

Wish me luck...

OK....I think I have Rod restored.

Found one other....Andrew Clarke. Got him restored.

If there is anyone else this has happened to, please email me.

Sounds like some *&^%head hacker is using the server for their bots.

I have a triple firewall and packet handler and sometimes when im on the forums - I get alerts for form spoofing and the their IP will pop up showing the address its coming from.

Has anyone else had this happen? :-?

Tim,

They tell me that other clients that share the virtual private server I am on load it up and take it down. They also tell me that when someone does this their account is suspended until they fix the issue. Or....they are expelled.

So this happens that much eh? I will give them a chance to resolve it...may have to go for a private server if we have to. Can't be having this happen.

Thanks Mick for posting this....I may not have noticed this had happened again for a while. It was this post that brought it to my attention. [smiley=thanks.gif]

Your welcome Tom.

Life without an [smiley=smiley-gen101.gif] or 2 would be so sad.

Glad you got it sorted out.
