kac Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Findmall and others usually get targeted by hackers to try to get user data such as email, phone#s etc. so if there was a vulnerability then they have locked down all the forums hosted there. One way to find out if it is Whites specific is to see what other forums are hosted by Findmall and see if they are down too.

Jim in Idaho Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 This has nothing to do with Findmall. It's White's Factory forum...not the Whites forum/forums on Findmall. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locator Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hello. Looks like they're down again since saturday....(or is it only my connection?) Happy Hunting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim in Idaho Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Yeah, Steve, it's been down for a few days. They can't seem to keep it running for more than a few months at a time. Must have been another major crash. I hope this time they had the posts backed-up. Last time, they lost everything. Jim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locator Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Thank you for validation. Yes, it was a mess that all data were lost. So it's a good thing to have a backup. All the Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 They should just link to this forum and call it good!  They already do link here, and unlike Findmall and the rest I would not charge them a dime. If traffic warranted I can do the sub forum thing but with subject tags that’s not really needed these days. All it has done at Treasurenet is spread traffic out so much the forums appear dead. What with all the lost information and down time their own forum may never really recover anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my go to detector forum. I rarely visit others! Too bad White's doesn't seem to maintain theirs. In my opinion, anybody that uses active server pages for a website (like White's) will have issues anyway. Ha ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Idaho Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 They like having control over the content, Steve. They don't allow any posts that might make Whites look anything less than perfect...LOL Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
