Title: Hacked and Fixed but not quite up to date - Sorry
Post by: Pat Walter on May 21, 2015, 09:53:05 PM
The Hip Talk discussion group was hacked!!!  I am sorry it was down a couple days, but I have been working with GoDaddy and banging my head against the wall trying to fix it.  I lost a couple weeks of current posts and replies.  I AM SORRY.  It is the best I could do, so you might have to post your more recent comments again.

New members that were approved during the last couple weeks have also been lost.  So if you can't log in, please email me and I will register you again.

I am very sorry about the downtime and loss of posts, but it is so difficult to work with these complicated php programs like this discussion group.  Unfortunately I am a hip resurfacing patient and not a programmer. 

I still have some work to do, but hopefully the group will stay on line and I won't lose any more posts.

Thanks for your understanding.

Pat

Pat:

It is a shame that some really destructive person or persons decided to mess with such a terrific site.

Thank you for your commitment to surfacehippy and thank you for providing an invaluable resource for all of us who have, are or will struggle with hip issues.

Great holiday weekend to all...

OK guys - I think I might have it all fixed and working.  :D I migrated the website and discussion group to a new, faster and safer server - according to GoDaddy.  The migration trip has been a bit confusing.  They did most of the work, but I had to get things worked out - causing me to drink.

I am sorry for the Hip Talk Group not working, but I hope we are on the right road now.  The new server is supposed to be safer, harder to hack and faster. Also better back up program.

So off we go into the wilder blue yonder with a migration on to better service!   :P   I hope.

If you are having problems, please let me know.
