Hi!
The choice is tick in my Safari too and I didn't have any problem.
aquaMat - you've had difficulties with your Internet provider before and they might have too many users which might slow down the connection considerably.

That's true, Rose..... but if this was the reason, ALL pages would load slowly, not just the MM-forum !
But anyway...... since yesterday morning I didn't have it anymore.
So probably everything is back to normal again......

Not sure if it's related, but I have been experiencing problems today. I started a post in The Mall thread and when attempting the post at first with an attachment, it just sat there like it was slowly, slowly loading. Stopped that and did another post without the attachment. Did manage to attach one file replying to that post, but while trying to attach my second screenshot it has sat there for over 30 minutes!

I think it is just a bad connection. I've experienced the same sometimes.

I have to say that the problem I reported above did NOT happen anymore during the last 5 days or so.....
So, indeed, it probably was not related to the hacker attack !
But still - I sometimes wonder - what the hell this attack has been about.... why us? And why
hackteach?
And what with this Arab language.....
I could very well imagine the real guys behind all this being some bored teenagers from Nowheresville, Arkansas who said to themselves....
You know what? It'll frighten them even more if we pretend we're an Arab site...ha..ha.
And in the end....this thought is even more frightening to me, than if the site was really arabic.... to be honest. :o
My guess is that the real people from the Middle East have other problems to care about than making hacker-attacks on harmless game forums.

Heh, didn't see this thread when it was first posted, but yes, I was all too aware of the attack at the time... and contacted my web hosting company about it immediately, but it took them a while to be able to fix it. I was at their mercy until then.
At first, I was afraid someone might have erased everything on my web site! Fortunately, that wasn't the case, it was just a DNS issue, where they pointed actionsoft.com to some other server. Apparently, *all* websites hosted by my company had been hacked at the same time.
