Expected nothing until Saturday at Midnight. Nice surprise! Hopefully something more permanent happened.

Nocturne broke the code ! Just step one as they intend to re-host and add better spam moats.

 

[KevinS]

Nocturne, the site’s owners, worked on this. There was a Bot Storm, the global PHP problem on which they correctly paid more arrention to their revenue-generating sites, and some additional technical/access issues. It took time, but I’m just happy that the site is back.

Now I have to work on a Resto List update.

They should at least use free Cloudflare tools. I will see if Stiles has any leverage with Nocturne IT.

Don't know what you got till it's gone. Happy we're back.

I do hope they will upgrade the system to the latest version of XenForo (at the bottom of this page the copyright only goes to 2023?). Top of my wishlist outside of bot/spam protection and constant bandwidth issues is a dark mode. Agree with Cloudflare. But please give us a dark mode.

WOW! I thought it was me...I was checking on Safari, Chrome, my phone...I couldn't understand what was going on.
Kudos to all who brought it back.

They guys have it under control and as soon as they re-host all will be well. Stiles who?

It's not the first time in 2026, so most of us already know what it is.

A free cloudfare turnstile will solve all these problems and prevent the bots. Not sure why this issue is so complicated?

As Kevin mentioned this site is not a priority for the owners, so they don't have time to change anything here.

Yeah, but this was a lot longer.

 

[Jim Kelly-Evans]

Glad to see the site up again. Looking forward to your restaurants update, Kevin.

indeed. It's a lot to keep up with these days.

I love the armchair IT pros here!

Listen, of the 3 mods, I no nothing about IT. But JEK and Kevin know lots.
The "right" people are now involved with the backbones of the forum and are committed to getting everyone a better FREE experience.

So, simmer down and enjoy your complimentary St Barths forum!

Thank you for the compliment, Dennis! We (aka "armchair IT pros") love our mods more than anybody else, knowing their challenges with IT support. And we love our free forum, especially when it is working. But if you look, there is a spammy repost of my falsified posting with links even in this tread already.

It’s gone now.
