Hello!

Welcome back to TowersTimes Forum!

Unfortunately we were victim of a cyber attack which took advantage of a writable directory in our forum software. This has now been repaired and the forum is running faster and more secure than ever before. No user information was compromised during the attack as passwords and other account information is heavily encrypted within the database, which was unaffected.

As a result of the repairs made to the forums you may experience a few temporary issues, we have temporarily removed the thanks system for example whilst we look for an improved version.

Right now, Google may list us as an 'attack site' - we have verified with Google that the issue is now resolved but it may take some time for it to clear completely. Accessing the forum through the old domain of towerstimesforum.co.uk is likely to bring up this error.

Thank you for your time, patience and understanding.

Adz,
Forum Admin.

Is tapatalk back working yet, as every time I try and visit TowersTimes Forum using it just says processing and gets stuck there.

Any ideas why or how to fix this would be great!

Thanks

Is tapatalk back on yet? I keep getting a message that the forum is restricting access or the plugin is not working.

Rather odd this one ... On the iPad tapatalk hd refuses to connect ... but will to all other forums. On Android, the Convo app which uses tapatalk will connect to TTF perfectly. Any ideas what's going wrong ?

Yes, we are reinstalling it. It's an ongoing process.

It's no surprise it will work on some devices and not others as we are reinstalling it step by step. :)
