Ahhh - got it... It's not good out there right now... On one of my more active vBulletin forums, below is a screen shot of my SPAM hack log - which is rejecting SPAM registrations at a rate of almost one per minute - with 287 during a 3 hour time period beginning at 1AM last evening .. With all of the rest of the PHP code I installed in the past few days to nuke this - it's *almost* manageable..??

I am guessing they changed the DNS and it has not propagated to our servers here in KSA. This is what I see... |

Thank you, my friend. It appears that the hacks I put in are doing great..! Also - these are automated SPAM BOTS given the reCAPTCHA hacks of the Google security, which have nothing at all to do with postino's post. It's a whole 'nuther "ball of wax".
As for Ed? Your screen view is pulled from your PROXY CACHE (not on your computer), and has nothing at all to do with a DNS change or your local cache or... - but I suspect you'll already know that already. Best to you guys, John D. |

Hi Ed,
Your proxy server is a router kind of thingy - up-line from your computer... Many cache pages for faster delivery of pages to their connect clients. If a "static" version is stuck (which is sounds like), it will expire and purge whenever it's programmed to - but can be a few hours, to a few days - and some have TTLs up to a week... ![]() Best to ya'!!
