Proboards has always had a lot of problems. There have been days when hours had gone by without anyone even visiting.
If they're having problems now, that might explain why the number of visitors has been only about 1/2 of what it had been over the last month.
Usually the problem gets fixed in fairly short order.
If you can give me any specifics as to what problems you're having, I can look into it.
I would always advise members to download and save their own posts, and any other posts or info they are afraid of losing.

The other day when I was on dialup, it said I was banned, and I was. GB Can you tell me what IP address you were using? I banned whole blocks of IP addresses to prevent Chinese spamming. (Though this was done over a month ago.) If know that you're using one of the prefixes I banned, I can remove the ban. At the time I did the massive "purge" of Chinese IP addresses, none of the members of this forum were using the 1st 3 digits of any of the IPs I banned. That situation may have changed however.

I was having trouble with my Earthkink dsl, and was on dialup. Hindu support threw so many codes at me, I would have trouble retrieving even a guess. Those people are downright rude, interrupting all the time. I had to yell at them to shut up more than once.
Although I've had the same email address for 13 years, I'm tempted to chuck Earthkink dsl for something else.

I tried to use Earthstink DSL about 10 years ago. It was a complete disaster. They wouldn't even let me terminate it without a fight. I spent 2-3 hours on the phone trying to cancel my service on about 4 different occasions. Finally I had to tell my credit card company to stop paying them, as there was no way to actually cancel my agreement.
I spent months trying to remove all the downloaded Earthstink garbage from my computer. I vowed never to deal with them again, and I haven't.
The only good thing about Earthstink is that it makes Comscam and Time Hoarder look less bad.

my problem was clicking on any of the links took me to the prodboards homepage. Like if i went from one section to another section- hell it even happened when i tried to exalt someone. it seemed like they were moving files around on a server- so it could have been a one time maintenance thing. (only lasted the last 48 hours). I'll let you know if i see it again.

I've never seen that happen before. I'll post a question on Proboards message board and ask about it.

ULC,
I'm an US Air Force person presently stationed in Japan (13 Hr difference [EST], right now). There's a big time period where I can't respond because my Co. has blocked "Personal, Blogs, and other such labelled sites.
My Biggest recommendation is to change your "designation" for your blog. I'd call it news, or, something else.
Having said that, you have my 3rd visited site upon wakening (and having checked my e-mail). Keep up the great work.
Dan.

Dan,
Thanks for the compliment and the suggestion. I'll try designating the forum as "news" and see what happens.
Is one of the other sites you visit Military.com?
