I don't know if you have had problems with this forum. The problem was a attack on the .com and .co.UK address. Hopefully its been sorted now.

Noticed it was a little slow in sorting itself out, but other than that - no.
What was the attack Steve, and how can you tell?

I could not log on for love or money. Hello, This night/morning (3:30am here) we've experienced multiple DDoS attacks on our servers targeting custom domain forums. This has caused custom domains to be inaccessible for multiple brief periods of time. During this time, however, your standard ProBoards forum URLs have continued to work. For the time being, we encourage you to use your non-custom domain URL and make your forum users aware of it as a "backup" URL. Also, in the interest of keeping your forum working, when users login to your forum they will be directed to your regular (non-custom domain) URLs. This is only temporary to ensure that your visitors can use your forum and be logged in if custom domains go down due to another attack. Once we are confident that these issues have subsided, we will switch logins back to your custom domain URL. We apologize for this inconvenience. Patrick Clinger President and CEO ProBoards

I thought I was 'person non grata' already... You are most welcome here, Tricky. Can I ask why you thought that? There are some members on the other site that were well known to stir up the shite but your were certainly not one of them.

Sorry. I thought the winking face at the end of the sentence may have been enough to suggest I was just kidding... Can't think of a single reason why you wouldn't want me here... Except I do still frequent the other forum from time to time and I hope this won't be an issue, quite missed you guys.
