Noticed the site was down earlier as well and now at logon getting the same message, just wondering if OSO got hacked? and if so hope everyone's account info is safe..... Had my paypal account hacked once before and it was no fun getting the funds back as I had to wait some time.

I get a "checking browser" screen that I've never seen before. Couple other things i noticed . . .



odd order that posts are getting displayed. Some quoted reply's are appearing before the quoted post

I have lost some auto-saved posts and could not be retrieved

on my tablet i have gotten an occasional popup (that may be my tabs issue)

the weird "checking "browser" screen, disappears after a few seconds

when i hit "post quick reply" it loops to a this forum requires a 30 second blah blah blah then looses the post (happened a couple times at different times)

Alan4 is still a putz

this screen btw . . . never seen it before anywhere

Obviously an "upgrade". Anytime you install an "update: you can be sure it will be slower and less stable. Bill Gates is the antichrist.

The site is behind a wall that protects it against the DDOS attack, that new main screen tests to see if you're OK or part of the problem. Until the attack subsides, it'll probably look like that for a while.

How about constantly having phone redirected to playstore (android) and pop-up ads( on phone) coming up? It only happens on this site, I've never had it occur while browsing anywhere else.

Yesterday morning, it wouldn't even log in....

Now I get the checking browser screen and it logs in...

Over the weekend, I was getting all kinds of pop up trash when on OSO...It would redirect me....

I get that to every once in a while on my tablet, i believe its a mobile only issue. I think the security is way more lax with all the stuff we ok when loading yet another app, i would guess it is linked to something like that.


As these sites evolve and software gets updates and changes we go through these kinda things. Happened before and eventually it is a thing of the past. Been here a long time seen this stuff come an go :D
