    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

OT...Flight Simulator sponsored ads popping up here?

For a work around you can go into Settings, Safari, Advanced, and turn JavaScript to OFF. That should work for SOH.

According to want I've read Android does not use pure Java coding but rather a derivative of Java which may be close enough to allow this bug to infect devices of a certain version of this derivative. Obviously Androids are also susceptible to this critter that's taken hold of us.
 
You are definitely searching in the right direction Ickie, as it has disappeared from my android phone as well.

Thanks for your efforts!

Huub

Thanks Duckie. Whatever it is, it seems to have gone now. Well done that man!
 
Funny, the ads disappeared on my IPad this morning. Everything was hunky dory until I opened the first post in the library thread. Maybe something in there?
 
Ickie,

when you you wake up: looks like success here too. They are gone.

Merry Christmas a few days early.
 
tomorrow at 2:15 am Eastern I will check to make sure, if it aint I will kick a$$ again

Once you have recharged I would be interested know if there is an explanation (in lay-terminology) for what it was.

Thanks again for the KO.
