As of 1/1/2016, our hosting service has been under an denial-of-service attack.  The site up-and-down at this point, hopefully up for good soon.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!

I suspect this may go on for a while longer.

Knock on wood, I think we're now out of the woods.

Just posted two images with no problems. It looks like it was a really serious attack...

I am the IT admin at work and we went through this a couple of years ago Jim. We were down for 2 1/2 days, had the FBI involved. They sent an agent here to document everything. It happened, was over with and no other attacks since. Very stressful time though. I'm glad we are up and running. Thanks for the email.
