Yesterday I had withdrawal symptoms

After I couldn't get into the forum yesterday, I was already thinking something like that. Then the last outage was just the harbinger. Do you know more about what broke down? What kind of server are you on now?

The tech told me that he tried to turn on the server and it went off immediately, like a power source outage. As it was an offer without premium support he couldn't do more and declared the server dead without be able get the data back. About the servers, you can see the list here:
https://console.online.net/en/order/ser ... 87a3a2ca82

old one was 'Start-2-S-SATA' which was a 2 cores, 4GB, 1TB HDD
new one is 'Start-2-M-SSD' which has 8 cores, 16 GB, 250MB SSD

So overall it should be a lot faster.

Wow, the old one had an HDD and just 4 GB of RAM.
For the same price you will get a bit more at Netcup: https://www.netcup.com/de/server/vps
My server is from Netcup and I am very satisfied with their performance and support.

Anyway. I already can say that the forum now feels a lot faster than before! Very nice!

Likewise, maybe this'll finally stop those AI crawlers from owning us

suddenly, 1560 forum users… bots revenge!

So far, it seems to hold correctly

Oof...yeah we're getting hit pretty hard. But it doesn't care!
Thanks for your commitment to PureBasic and these forums, Fred.

@Fred: If the new server now handles the requests so much better from the bots, can we please get back access from iOS devices to the board?

Should work again for iOS

Hi Fred, I've just tried on my iPhone : i can access the English forum now !
But not the french forum : I still have a "Forbidden" error

Edit : it works now !

Thanks a lot, I surf through the boards most of the time when in public transport, and this now works again.

oddly I just got 403 forbidden with Edge win 11 but it works with FireFox
deleting cookies didn't seem to work but I might have to restart the browser.

Currently everything works fine here on Windows 11 with Vivaldi, Firefox and Microsoft Edge.

Could you tell the user agent of edge ?
