Just wanted to say "kudos" to the tech team for dealing with yesterdays PHP global issue and getting the site up and running again.
Many people/users might not even be aware of how big a deal this was globally and thought I should just post this. 😇

Will let the BL guys explain if they feel it is necessary.
But in a nutshell all our (members/users etc) were protected by this "on the fly/real time" flaw, that needed immediate correction and that AI works in situations where it should.

Lots of jargon, but here is a link for anyone interested on the seriousness of the event and the protection of all of our personal info etc.

@Northwesternparacelsus - I removed your posts from the gun violence thread that were in relation to the website outage this week.

This would be the appropriate forum to voice questions/concerns. I didn't remove your posts to censor - it was just to clean up the thread as those comments were about a site outage, and not gun violence.

Sorry if you felt like I was targeting you, I wasn't. I tried to explain that in the notification that you got sent.
 
Sorry to borrow the thread but i don't want to create one just for that: i can't hear the sound of YT video via the website, i have to switch to the YT site, how comes?

I understand most of us come for laughs and debate and to take part in the threads.

This was a cultural shift for me anyway. A whole sight crashed. This wasnt the first one this year was it?

Hey there Ratel.
Welcome to Bluelight.
No worries about "borrowing" the thread at all.
I am not a tech guy but do work with them and hope my response helps solve your issue.

Please can you give a bit more info regarding...
Which browser you are using (chrome/edge)?
Device? eg. PC / Laptop/ Cellphone etc.. no details just the device type.
And best tip I can give when it comes to "troubleshooting" and getting issues solved....is ....the below

The best and fasted way when we don't have the capacity (or desire) to be in that field .... is to post a screen shot of the issue.
This is a huge "plus" that I have learned working with the tech guys.

Hope this helps and let us try point you in the right direction.

This outage was cause by a worldwide 0 day security hole that was recently discovered by AI. Many, many web sites were affected. A patch was released and applied before any breaches occurred. The patch was on the server level on the ISP that hosts BL.

No breach occurred, nothing was compromised.
