the forum appears to be working again!

Yea!
...for now. It's been a roller coaster ride of up and down the past few days.
Update: I've tried accessing this site at least a dozen times today and managed to get through only twice.
Mike,
I have experienced the same failure rate today. I sent a status update request to Tormek IT. I will post any updates.
Ken
Glad you are on it Ken
Tormek IT replied that according to our hosting service, we had an attack by a botnet. That is way above my paygrade, however, we are hopefully done with it.
Thanks for being alert, guys.
Ken

My money weas on a DDOS (distributed denial of service) attack. All too common these days. Insecure smart devices making it easier.
Forum is still a bit wonky. Fails to load or sometimes I get a page with text links.

I see the same page text links from time to time. Refreshing the browser loads correctly.
Quote from: KaithyHong on July 23, 2026, 11:43:53 AMOne thing that's helped me is making small adjustments and testing the edge after each pass instead of trying to correct everything at once. It makes it much easier to dial in the setup and avoid removing more material than necessary.
I think you posted in the wrong thread
