I have had probs all day and a few times recently too. This site is the only one I use that is unreliable regularly. Its also the only one I pay to use. Hmmm. Sure we will shortly get a apology and a assurance that it'll be better soon with the new server / software / other excuse.

Evening Guys,
I wish some of you would at least post in the forum that I and other members of IB webteam actually check in for problems. https://passionford.com/forum/passio...d-problems-50/

If you dont actually tell us that we have problems we will never know... However, since I have by chance spotted this one, let me give you some insight...

As many of you will know, we have been suffering a DDOS attack from a malicious third party trying to take down IB's network for some weeks now and while our network is setup to handle very substantial traffic (it deals with over 50 million visitors and 650 million page views each month), as has been seen by other large internet sites (Twitter, Facebook, Google et. al.) such a large scale attack will cause connection difficulties regardless of what some IT trained members on here would have you believe...

In this we were no different, and it wasn’t until sometime early this month that we where able to implement a successful resolution to the issue. We spent a significant amount of time with our service providers to identify solutions to help mitigate this attack and have put in place a very significant amount of hardware to filter out the traffic. Whilst also improving our Firewall bandwidth and installing other hardware had to take all the sites down a couple of times over the last week to finalise one or two of the upgrades on the servers.


For security purposes, we have been instructed not to provide more in-depth information beyond this but please rest assured that our databases were never impacted and that no information was breached.

As part of the implementation of the resolution you may have encountered some issues with the site and its functionality, we are working through each of those items, and if you come across an issue, if you could please post it in the correct forum to ensure that we have seen it, it would be appreciated.

We have been and continue to work around the clock until all the issues are resolved, our apologies for the inconvenience.
