"Lightbox" for images has been replaced with "FancyBox". This lets you see the full image when clicked and the "Expand arrows" clicked at the top of the image. Plus a bunch of other goodies "under the hood". Any issues or questions, please ask here.




THANK YOU !

Hi all.

Has the search bar moved or has it gone? Unless I’m being stupid, I can’t find it?

Thank you.

Sorry Moderator3, unless my eyesight is very bad, I'm afraid I don't see the search option at the bottom as you stated.

Every time I type something down on there, it says the following:

"Sorry, search could not be performed. More information about this failure has been logged in the error log."

There is no search field. I checked the top and the bottom of the messageboard, it is simply not there.

Hi at kb and others. Indeed search has been
removed due to attacks from "down under." A rather delicate situation if you ask me. And a pathetic childish one who is keeping the servers virtually at ransom.

Thank for your reply Moderator 3.

Can you just suspend the member in question? I thought search function is to find old posts, did not know that one can misuse it for attacks..

Moderator3 would answer this and get it a bit wrong even though I'm trying to teach him the ins and outs of things. But this IS a VERY delicate question to answer AND situation right now. Yes, there are "naughty" things a member could do that aren't even in the guidelines that would lead to their expulsion - and from their EVER coming back.

Just as a person [whom is known in the Elvis World] would target, via a group of hackers - a customer of mine's sub-site, attempting to take it down permanently.
This leads to them, I'm guessing, having a good chunk of missed income while their site was down.

It's one word - PATHETIC. And nothing would make me happier than for us to be left alone.

PLEASE.


All the best from Memphis,
Jordan

It's literally been a 24hr a day operation.
I cannot give a timeline, other than to reassure you that it WILL BE BACK. No worries. There may be some bumps in the road between now and then. So, I do sincerely appreciate you and everyone else hangin' in there until then.
