Mach1 Driver 560 Report post Posted April 7 I tried to "Like" Ben's post, but that is unfortunately still broken for me. Anyway, I'm happy for the coming changes. With all the bot posts and my anti-virus program telling me the site isn't secure, I was seriously considering not returning to the site. 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad its moving on to a new server Ben. Let us know if there is anything we can assist with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bswor 76 Report post Posted April 18 Paid for the next tier which has unmetered bandwidth (another $10 a month for a total of $30). One issue down. Still need to upgrade the forum software to keep the spam out. That will be fun for another day/2days back and forth with their support. 2 3 RogerC, smh00n, Mike65 and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the "Like" feature is working again. EDIT: Dang, that lasted about 2 hours and they are back. It's a never-ending battle, the bots come back every day, sometimes more that once. We need the forum software upgrade - that should kill the bots and allow the site to be secure again which should fix the "unsafe" warnings and let the "like" feature work again.
