Red Screen from Hell

 

+ahem+

 

As you've all seen the past couple of days, we've had another episode of this. Now, thing is, there is nothing wrong. I've checked the database, checked the files and file structure, and a host of other things. Got Google to remove us from the blacklist again yesterday (6-17) as there were no issues found. So, this afternoon, it started again. The site is once again under review for removal from the malware blacklist, as the site is clean. As I caught this instance as it started today, I expect that to take a matter of maybe a few hours.

 

As there are no malicious files on the site anywhere, the only other thing which comes to mind is malicious reporting. Given the nature of the site, I'm honestly not surprised. In any case, it's taken care of.

 

Funding Status

As always, we appreciate and thank everyone who can donate. It's certainly not required of the users, but every little bit helps!

 

Tech Bits

There are a few things users need to be aware of, so as to not have issues.

 

Internet Explorer 10 has this lovely little default of going to “quirk” mode. This mode plays hell with php scripts. I've found a way to work around it, and you'll find that here.

 

The bug for the center login box still exists, so to not have issues with that, once you've registered, remember to logout, then BACK in, using the boxes located at the upper right corner of your browser screen.

 

Our FAQ section has much useful information. Having said that, if you're still having trouble, you can either email tech support, or post in the tech support forum. It can take me up to 48 hours to respond, due to real life obligations. Please be patient, I WILL get to you as soon as I can.

 

Please remember that the authors you read do like to hear from you! Leave them a review or two, and let them know how they're doing!
