I just wanted to give you a summary of where we are at. As of Friday various IB sites were subject to a vicious cyber attack. We’ve been working hard to mitigate the problem. We didn’t post in 3FC on Friday because 3FC appeared to be unaffected and we didn’t want to alarm the community if it wasn’t necessary. . Please continue to report any problems that you experience yourself as well those brought to you by other community members. You can report them by replying to this thread.
Would have posted but I couldn't get the web site to open,I was down a day and a half, all day Friday and about half a day Saturday and even today it has been down briefly a few times.
Access was much better today but I did have intermittent problems. I got the "server taking too long" message several times but would wait a few minutes and then could access the site.
It would be fabulous if there was a twitter or something where these things could still be announced even when the site is down. I actually found a twitter but it hadn't been updated since I think 2008 or something.
All yesterday I was unable to reply to posts. It would just time out. I even tried sending a private msg to IBsteph and an email via the contact us page but nothing worked.
Thankfully, it's working now. Not sure if anyone else has periodically run into this issue but just wanted to give you guys the heads up.

Also it's not *THAT* big of a deal, but when I sign in it says you have used 1 out of 5 attempts to log in, but when I am on the front page I am signed in and I can reply to posts. Then sometimes it says thanks for logging in and then when I get to the front page it shows I am not logged in until I click on a sub-forum.
