I was booted off last night and had to do the " forgot my password thing to get back in.

Today I could not get on and it took the site over 40 minutes to send me the password link emial.

If you don't know to reset your password to get on your aren't going to get on. Now they won't send a link in a timely manner so you stilkl can't get on.

I'm not sure if folks will go thru this for much longer. I think you may not see more gripes because they can't get on to piss and moan about it or they have just stopped trying and have moved on.

While I do not doubt the problems Wilcom has been having for a second, mine have all gone away and I've had no difficulty getting on for weeks now.


There's the solution Joe - move to Australia.

You haven't had a problem for 2 weeks, but it's been going on for almost 2 months. I have had 10 days with no hitches and then twice in 2 days!!

It's not me I worry about, I got a hack with the reset password that gets me on....... but others could face a higher level of frustration and not be a whiny ass like me and no one will be the wiser. Like a store/bar with irregular closing hours, pretty soon ya just don't go there anymore. Where with me if I saw them turning chairs upside down I would be banging on the door wanting know what the hell is going on!!!

I downloaded the raw site access log from the ISP server and after searching it I found that the access log does not record username passed OR password.  It shows the request from the client and what module is invoked but no data.

I can honestly say that other than a lot of investigating and poring over error logs I have done nothing.  The issue was something outside of my control - maybe the hosting company was playing around with something?  I really don't know...
