Title: Forum down for a short period today
Post by: Michelle on January 05, 2018, 10:16:40 pm
Sorry for the unexpected "not found" situation.  Blame Meltdown and Spectre and the need to address it at the server level....

Ran into that last night and decided that no Foreforums meant it was time for bed.

Michelle/ Steve, thanks again and a quick question. Is this a problem that servers can only fix or is there something we owners of these computers can download to control it or???

Mind boggling complexity.  It seems some of the very best minds are housed in the bodies of criminals.  My hat is off to those who keep up and deal with this stuff like Steve and Michelle.  I'll just go along dumb and happy and hope Windows patches it.

I would gladly pay a forum membership to help defer costs; as this site is a wealth of information.
