Thank you for the hard work.
Nikongear was missed badly.

Just to add thanks to Jan Anne who was also providing hacking tips in the background, and there was one time when only he was online :)
Thank you Jan Anne!

We should extend our thanks to every one except for DDOS hackers and Site5 support :D

I'll keep my HOSTS configuration anyway as this is my recipe for eschewing connectivity issues in general.

attachments cannot be seen
pictures get corrupted in the upload process
my pictures are randomly deleted by admins
not good. unusable for me.

Admin comment: we do NOT "randomly delete" your pictures. What nefarious activity might go on here needs to be investigated, but don't accuse us of doing something we don't do at all, please.

As of now, also all the aliases to NG work as they should. Apparently I ticked the right boxes this morning :D Mail notification should be functional as well.

NG thus can be accessed though nikongear.net, nikongear.com, nikongear.org, with or without any 'www' prefix. The rationale of the aliased sites is two-fold, firstly, they trap existing references to content posted on the 'old' NG, secondly, we can set up diversified services later on.

Besides these aliases, the backdoor approach through fiercebearofthenorth.com works as before.

It's nice to have you back.

I can't quite understand why anyone would need a "smart toaster"? Just want the thing to work.  ;D

There's an insane amount of silly IoT devices, basically poorly maintained, insecure small computers and connected to the internet. A disaster waiting to happen and the wait ended the other day.

Just to clarify: NG never actually was *down*, but normal connectivity was lost since Friday night until last night. Using the suggested HOSTS file hack, no problem getting to the server and the forum. A lot of members managed this. However, as the mail server temporarily was disconnected, we could not send out a Newsletter to inform our entire membership. That has been taken care of today.
