Is anyone else getting the 'Temporarily Down for maintenance' message when changing pages on the site? For instance when I click to log out it then goes to the 'down' page, same when I complete a comment. The comment does appear but goes straight to the down page and I have to open another instance of caedes.net then keep several windows open to toggle between them. It is not just on my pc, it is happening on my ipad as well.

I've been having problems too -- starting from last night. I tried to send a PM and got the down message, so sent it again, ditto. Received the message again just now when marking a whole forum board as 'read'.

I blame the Gremlins myself ! Refreshing the page does not work for me. Have to open new instance. I know when I post this comment the maintenance page willl apppear. Very frustrating.

Yeah, I've noticed that, myself...Might have something to do with that major hack all across the internet late last week that I read about in the headlines... I suppose they're still picking up the pieces from that...
The empty posts appeared because after writing my comment I tried at lease 3 times to see if it was visible. It wasn't So I tried again and again and lo and behold!- There were suddenly three of the same comment! So I just deleted the text of the first two.
I just noticed that if you change from Caedes to any other website and then go back then the comment will be there .

That's exactly how I ended up with a duplicate post above.
And thanks for the additional information, Lyn. Your time and efforts are appreciated.

Now, then..
This has not been confirmed, however, it is my strong suspicion that much of what has been happening as of late and even going back a few weeks.. has to do with *caedes' efforts to thwart the bots and spam users.
As this I do know..
*caedes has been actively monitoring the site on the above note. And has been making changes to the site's code to resolve/rectify/strengthen the security of the site.

All that can be asked of at this time boils down to.. please be patient and bear with.
