My new thing doesn’t work. Time to go back to the developers of the custom code with the evidence :~( Sorry to hear this. Must be incredibly frustrating to deal with. Just to chime in: I too support the idea of some kind of curated start for new users. I know it's a moderation headache, but perhaps the lesser of the 2 evils. buonassi and The Computer Audiophile 2 My Audio Setup Link to comment

The Computer Audiophile Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 There are literally hundreds of posts rolling in right now from tens of users trying to spam the site. Fortunately I can click one button to disable their accounts and remove all the posts. This is insane. They don't care if their posts appear on the site, they just keep posting.

Foggie Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 What would be the reason i get the "Secure connection failed" only at wo r k? Even if I go to a cached topic (google), it sends me to their bad page stating site is against policy or whatever. A couple weeks ago it was fine and I know they are on a massive security binge/pushing out new polices etc.. just curious My rig Link to comment
Shadders Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 2 hours ago, The Computer Audiophile said: Hi, Looks like a DDOS (SPAM) attack - the IP addresses are close in some of the posters - and with same e-mail domain (different e-mail account). What i used to do is locate the servers they are being sent from - use the relevant WHOIS information and report that their servers are being used for SPAM etc. It is a slow process, but it does start to remove their control of the servers. Regards, Shadders. Link to comment

Alternatively, corporate policy has removed the relevant root certificate from your browser. Or maybe your work browser/OS is ancient and doesn't support the security level Chris has configured in Cloudflare. The Computer Audiophile 1 Link to comment

We switched SSL certificates last week, but that wouldn't explain why this has been happening for a couple weeks. Have you tried clearing out everything you can in your browser?

matthias Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Chris, on the FORUMS page why is there no preview of the last post and no post count at ALLO? Can you enable this? Thanks Matt "I want to know why the musicians are on stage, not where". (John Farlowe) Link to comment
