I'm not sure if that's the correct term. This is what happened... I keyed in my user name and passcode and immediately got an error 1006 saying access denied the owner of this website 2peasrefugees.net has banned your IP address ... CloudFlare Ray ID: (some [HASH]'s are listed)
I hit the help that was supplied and it didn't look right. I then tried to text and forward a screen shot to the old man. My phone would not allow me... I turned the phone off and back on and tried this site again and was able to get back on...
Maybe it was nothing... I just wanted to make everyone aware

Thanks for the warning but I'm clearly not up to date. I don't know what you mean, or the implications...

They will then be able to check their logs and pinpoint anything out of place and act on it before it goes any further. |

You clicked on a link in the message? I suggest that you run a complete virus scan on your computer before you do anything else!

Phishing is when someone tries to get you to give personal info that they can use to hack your account or steal your identity by getting you to log in to a fake website that looks like the one you were trying to go to...like giving you an error message as described above to get you to click on another website where they try to get you to give your name, password, credit card info, etc. So they are "fishing" for info.

I checked and CloudFlare is a legit program some sites run:
You probably got the message in error, just a system burp or something.
But definitely do a screenshot next time and report it to ProBoards.

ProBoards went through a period where there were DDos attacks every couple weeks.

That's odd..
Regarding my account, about every week or four/five days, my password says invalid.. so I have to reset my password and I swear I use the same one each and every time.. same one I used at 2peas... Call me crazy! I don't know. I keep thinking, well maybe I did change it.

Hopefully it was just a board burp, that's not something we want happening here in our new home.
