Just an FYI, I've installed a security update and a bug fix update to the site tonight. You SHOULD not see any differences. All the updates were made to the core of the site.
On another note, we still are experiencing hack attempts to the site. I've been monitoring the web logs and the new user registrations, and sadly there are still undesirables attempting to wreak havoc on this site. Unfortunately this extremely close monitoring is taking away the little time I get to try and restore the site.
Lastly if you have any news or announcements you would like to share please drop me a note and I will give you an email address to send in the news.
After wrestling for the past weekend with our web site and wasting some hours tonight, I made the decision to wipe the slate clean. There were just to many errors in the database, and there was still some bits of old code left from the upgrade, which was causing some issues.
I truly apologize for this, I did everything I could to try and NOT delete the old site. It will take me a week or two to get the site back to where it was with the old links and articles back in place so please bare with me as I reconstruct the site. It will take some time.
What does this mean to you?
Everyone, including myself and my moderators and assistant web administrators will need to create a new account. Your old usernames and password are gone.
At this time I have implemented a new feature which allows me to activate new user accounts manually. Please be aware that I work two jobs, and do not have a lot of time so it may take me 24 - 48 hours to activate new accounts. (I may turn this feature off we'll see how it goes)
So welcome to the all new and improved Smallbore.us.....
