In reply to robsmith's message of 3 Dec 2025: Make sure you are using "https" and not "http" - the net appears to have been tightened after the last round of problems That did it. I added the s and immediately got logged on. Sheesh. 8^)~~ ~~~~~ |

For me the SETI WEBSITE is slow to load and sometimes times out forcing a reload. * It might be a local metroplex problem here in the Fort Worth Texas area because the Thursday night NFL Football game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions is live streaming on Amazon Prime. It's also being broadcast / simulcast on our local over the air (antenna) FOX-TV affiliate for those who don't have Amazon Prime. |

In reply to Dr Who Fan's message of 5 Dec 2025: For me the SETI WEBSITE is slow to load and sometimes times out forcing a reload.Same here, so it's not a local problem. The site is pretty useless. Takes a long time to load, when it even loads. Often the result is time out. |

SETI website must be under another DDOS attack by the bots again or maybe another Cloudflare proxy issue? Site unreachable for over 1/2 hour for me. |

What is going on at SETI?? I tried to browse the forums and got the time out message that site took to long to respond and then it started to load, all of a sudden I get the following message: "Forbidden Finally, a few minutes later it loaded, but now I can't post in any forums without the same error message. Edit cleared my cache, deleted SETI cookies, exit browser wait 30 seconds, sign in again, go to forums - they load but very slow, opened several topics and click the 'post to thread ' button and a box appears to write a message. Have not created a message to post in any topics except one noted below... Don't want to create unnecessary stuff requiring deleting. It looks like it won't let me post to Message boards : Politics : Don't know where it should go? Stick it here 4 |

Can someone email or message Eric K to find out what is happening with the SETI website? * It's slow as molasses again and randomly timing out. Also, SETI still won't let me post to Message boards : Politics : Don't know where it should go? Stick it here 4 It did let me post a message on TLPTPHW CCCXLIV (344). I see that Scrooge McDuck posted yesterday on SETI he was having similar problems. https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=86186&postid=2153167 |

S@H has been suffering a lot of DOS attacks, and Eric is aware of the resultant problems these cause. |

In reply to Dr Who Fan's message of 11 Dec 2025: What is going on at SETI?? I tried to browse the forums and got the time out message that site took to long to respond and then it started to load, all of a sudden I get the following message:I was getting that randomly a few days ago when trying to "Mark all threads as read." Sometimes it would take 2-5 attempts for it to work and not get a Forbidden error. Grant Darwin NT. |

Grant triggered an undesirable event by talking about the desirable situation. Remember, don't talk about "good news" as this triggers bots and trouble........ |
