BOT attack on our website

Steve S — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 08:54:54 +0000

This morning we had a bot attack to our site, presumably in an attempt to hack into it. Freeola spotted the attack and suspended the site. they have implemented a fix to stop the type of attack used. Unfortunately this may have stopped some features working.

Mark is onto the problem to get us back to full working order, hopefully not too long but we can't guarantee that. We will keep you posted here. The site will be down at some point today while an upgrade is applied.

Hopefully that the end of it but clearly there has been some sort of security breach, we are following up.

Website down and now missing posts and photos

Steve S — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 14:42:32 +0000

The website was down for a few hours last week. Today I noticed some posts and photos are missing.

I've told Mark about it and I'm awaiting his take on it.

Some of the missing photos/posts are photo of the month for December.

New PBSBAC website switch over

Steve S — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 09:54:36 +0000

All being well the PBSBAC website will be switched to a new server on the evening of the 3rd December. The appearance of the website and forum will be substantially the same so no big learning curve.

There has been a great deal of work behind the scenes modifying the code by Mark and Tanya so that it will run on a modern specification commercial server. Since Oli took over maintenance of the website many years ago, it has been run on a private server kindly hosted by Oli's company and maintained by Oli, that's been a lot of work over many years. The server however is now old and cost money every month to run so a switch was required, meantime software system have moved on so a major update to the code was required, that's now completed.

We have been testing the new website, however, as is the way with software there may be some problems lurking which we have missed. Please report on this thread any possible issues you find once you see the notification that the website has switched, all being well that will be from the 4th Dec

There are some new features which will be detailed in a later post once it's live.
