My sense of the DOS is from the TapaTalk server. The forum works fine via a web browser. But database errors via TapaTalk. At first early this AM, I thought I’d been banned and sent into the cornfield.

Of course, Steve, you may have already closed that port.

Good luck - PaulG

Was the data error as a result of the traffic count Steve? Just curious ...

I can't imagine all the behind the scenes activity that goes on to monitor and admin this site. Thanks for all the hardwork.

Maybe there’s an uprising on a subreddit against those evil greedy Rolex owners of the world?

Received the data base errors on iPad. I have never used tapatalk

Expected something was not kosher, certainly was an unusual message/circumstance from the forum

Was just trying to give Steve all the information I knew. I also don’t know what happens to one when they get banned, so thought I may have stepped on the wrong toes.

Can you imagine if using free apps with ads to access forums was a cause of ‘hacked’ accounts and such?

Thank goodness the paid access upgrade apps aren’t embedded with code or something to piggyback access and track messages and logins with all the other open apps on phones.

It’s not like sites like watch forums deal in high dollar items or that they get your email, payment info and preferences or even a phone number.

It’s a good thing this isn’t happening here. I mean, seriously. Can you imagine?



(Maybe it’s time to kill the ‘Remember Me’ box and make people sign out and in (no choice) rather than optional opt in 2FA)
