jay dubaya Posted 8 October , 2017 Share Posted 8 October , 2017 Just tried accessing Tom's site and it really is a no go area, my computer says No! How long has it been unaccessible and I assume Tom is aware of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Hartley Posted 8 October , 2017 Share Posted 8 October , 2017 Must be something recent. It was fine a couple of weeks ago and I had an email from Tom only a couple of days back in which he mentioned nothing untoward. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Hartley Posted 8 October , 2017 Share Posted 8 October , 2017 I've emailed Tom to make sure he's aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Hartley Posted 8 October , 2017 Share Posted 8 October , 2017 (edited) Tom knew of the problem - there's apparently some malicious code in there somewhere/somehow. His plan is to take down the site and reload a clean copy from backup, hoping that sorts things out. It'll take a bit of time, of course - don't go holding your breath.

John_Hartley Posted 14 October , 2017 Share Posted 14 October , 2017 Tom's site is now back up, but incomplete. He's having to reload every article and every photo, so it will take some time to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knotty Posted 14 October , 2017 Share Posted 14 October , 2017 Hi John I don't envy him the task, he will need a considerable amount of time on his hands. As you are in contact with him, it's a bit of along shot, but is there anything that we could do to help out? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay dubaya Posted 17 October , 2017 Author Share Posted 17 October , 2017 Glad to say that some articles have been updated and are now accessible but still some way to go. Likewise I don't envy Tom's task but wish him all the best in it. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
