Home page not loading for me on any device. Just a white screen. Can only access site via Google search for Clan topics.

Yeah it almost looks like a mobile version of the forum on my screen right now. As Decadence said, there's no header etc. Also, the home page didn't load for me when I tried to go there.

Looks like there are other issues affecting the site now, the header and frontpage seem to have disappeared. I'll see if there's anything I can do, but more than likely we'll have to wait until Diom gets back from holidays to get in touch with the provider.

Hey guys.
I have noticed an increase in spam on the site and also some slowness loading the pages. This may be because Blacknight came under a denial of service attack recently but I suspect that it may be issue with this site setup as well. I have cleared out the caches, deleted the spamming users, and I have also turned off spamming checks for the trusted users (not too many of those! :
) in an effort to help the situation.
It would be great if in future you notice slowness or other issues that you could drop a note in this thread, so that I can see if there is a common set of circumstances that causes it.
Cheers. D.
