Recent down time.

There was a security risk in the basic program that we have for the messageboard acquired from phpBB. Ipower blocked all such boards until they could put a fix in place. The board was working fine and there was no virus, it was a matter of a window of chance that some hacker could cause some problems if left unfixed. Seems to be fixed now.

From what I gather, they didn't fix anything because our version of the bulletin board software is safe. My guess would be that they were trying to secure older versions of phpBB, and they turned ours off by accident.

On the positive side, it shows that they care about security, and we're backed up regardless of what happens.
