I am currently trying to access the site from my home computer and keep getting a 503 error. This is occurring on multiple computers so not quite sure what is going on. Once these technical difficulties have been resolved I'll be posting pics.

503 is an error of the server here making a connection with your end. That it is on multiple computers there, try disconnecting all but the one you are using to see if a computer on your side is overloading your connection.

SS is the only site its doing that on. I've shut everything down, run CCleaner, and am rebooting now. If that doesn't work you're all out of luck as I'm going out to play with my new toy.

Some fly in the ointment somewhere, and may or may not be related, but a few of us are also having trouble uploading photos. All a part of the entertainment!

Ran Ccleaner and Malware Bytes that should clear anything up and still getting a 503 error. Since its happening on anything using my WIFI I can only conclude its something there (easier than figuring it out). Tried resetting that as well with the same results.

As to the Waffle House issue we already decided to put 3 waffles on the front to signify our 3 WH conquests.

Run into the "503 error' issue before, and patracy was over-the-top helpful to pull me out of it:

- relates (at least on one level) to making a link from the web directly to the site here. A security thing: you get "banned" for the security of the site. Did you possibly make some similar kind of link, inadvertently, over the last few days?

No, it's not. You've just gotten trapped in the security system. Please email me the IP of your computer.

Away from home but will as soon as I get back. Friend said when he tried to acess he was redirected and a download started which is why he thought an attack.
Which is a 3rd issue, and not related. (Your friend has some malware/spyware on his PC that is being highjacked because of the javascript google ads) Non registered users are shown google ads. There's been a lot of exploiting of browsers around them. (We used to have it set for normal users to display, but I removed that)
