Well that's that. The system has started locking me out. It's about 1:30 p.m. on Saturday and I am watching the largest "No Kings" rally in the Chicago area.

I won't be able to have the system analyzed for whatever the issue is, until next week.

Continuing past the wicked January snow fall (and yes, shovelling snow on Don Mills Road again, in the bitter cold, ate up some time) to early February, the phpBB software is still under attack to some extent - it appears to be susceptible to false user totals.

There are usually only a couple of people on here at any given point in time... the part where the software says there are "hundreds" of users and that the "most ever" was a thousand or more is completely bogus.

Sorry about this... and if you think we should have a meeting to discuss other software I am certainly open to the idea... the main issue being time I guess, for example converting to something like the Simple Machines program is not a simple task.

I have added a few lines to the "About" page... comments would be appreciated.

The city did a drop just now via Canada Post, alerting residents to their "https://toronto.ca/winter" web pages.
