Does the unavailability of the Forums happen often, is this a problem affecting all users or is it more local,they have been unavailable for two days from my secret hideout(65 million of us) and again out of interest,where is the Forum?

It has been known to happen once or twice before It is not a localized thing, except to the whole world Once for nearly a week. I think it needs a tweek by the forum owner when it happens, and he is not always available. No idea where the forum is based, but the default time setting might be a clue. afaik it is in my computer, unless it's not working, and then it is lost in space

It happens, bots get on your computer that block the forums and sometimes
Bitzi, just sweep often with A/V and spy-bot. Or whatever tools you use.
Sometimes the forums need to shut down for repairs n things.

It is true that the forums can get blocked buy things on your computer. One of these is occasionally peer guardian, which may need to be configured to allow the Gnutella Forums. Yesterday however the forums were down for nearly 24 hors, but are now recovered.

Thanks guys,(especially Hobo) as i'm obsessed with comp. cleanliness ! don't think it's little aliens,

(When unavailable,message says'' email will be sent to Admin'') must be a generous host to run it all,so it's not sponsored by LW then? going by the ''run by users for users'' statement, you may be right. If so THANKYOU mysterious benefactor!!

I don't think the email to admin feature actually works, but admin knows about it as soon as possible.
