Board Outage

Post by uppmbadmin »

Unfortunately, the UPPMB received a cyber attack and was down for short period of time.

Hoepfully, there won't be any more interruptions moving forward.

Why anyone would want to hack a baseball message board is beyond me. Welcome to 2026!

While it was down, I was thinking of trying to upgrade the software. Although there aren't many posters as there used to be, this board software is outdated and cumbersome.

One of the options might be to get new software, but that might mean we would lose past posts.

Anyone who has some feedback, please post here.

Thanks

Update away!

I mean that in a do-what's-easiest sense.

Couldn't have happened at a better time: an off night.

Yes the timing was good, but this board software is old. Again, I am willing to invest a couple bucks to get better software, but not sure what we can do with the current content. Doing research now.

I'm all for updating.
I'd love to keep the old content, but us old members remember resetting the board before.

If you want a donation, let me know.

I still read from time to time, but not sure the posters know it. The posters on here are pretty good. It would be nice to have a "like" button to let people know I am enjoying their posts.

Sorry for the outage again. Same thing. Cyberattack.

We are going to address this in the offseason. Hopefully no more interruptions

Glad we're back up and running, but it helped maybe that we were down for the beginning of yet another late summer swoon.

Tried it the other day and wondered what was up. Glad you're back.
