Admin,
My PC protection has detected a bug in ATDB and disconnected me from the site. Apparently it's called "JS:Agent-EIY(Trj)"

Thamks - we are aware of that. I was advised that it would be fixed a couple of days ago but I have also seen it again today.
This is the first time I have heard of someone being disconnected because of it.
Usually I just get this warning but it does not disconnect.

I am getting a message "accept security challenge" when I try to access the Bus Australia site on my computer. When I click on it a whole lot of rubbish comes up and I am unable to access the Bus Australia site the usual way. I have now been able to access different portions of the Australian Bus site by google.

I'm getting the "Accept Security Challenge" on the BusAustralia.com homepage too as of 8PM. I didn't go through with it but the other day I partly clicked it and it prompted me to download some word document or something, I didn't save or download it through.

Am getting it on IOS mobile browser too so something has been hijacked on the server side of things.

Google search for "fleetlists.busaustralia.com" comes up with an Eastern Asian kanji type text (Chinese, Japanese etc) for the main page. Clicking through provides the normal page (in English) with no challenge.

An average of 27.70 pots per day during April with no particular pattern with the number on days fluctuating from as low as 13 to a high of 45.

The "Accept Security challenge" is supposed to have been fixed so let us know if you still encounter it.

As it does for me (interestingly it did not show up for me yesterday when I inadvertently wound up on the homepage).

I am still getting the Page Not found if I go to the photo gallery home page an click on the Bus Australia Home page link or just enter busaustralia.com as a URL name but it works OK if I enter "busaustralia.com/index.php"

It was suggested to me that clearing the cached files should solve the problem but it has not done so for me.

What happens to other users when they try this?

Clearing the cached files seems to have worked for me. So far anyway.

I subsequently found that it worked on Chrome but not Firefox or Edge.
Some more changes have since been made and now it works on all three.

Another months is coming to an end with an average number of posts of just 23.71. No particular pattern with most days just a few above or below 23 with the last 24 hours up to 4pm one of the worst with only 14.

June has come to an end with an average daily post rate of 21.47. We had three days with less that 10 posts 4, 8 and 3 respectively. Some bigger days around the 40 mark built the average up to the 21.47.

Another month is coming to an end and this month we averaged 20.13 posts per day. Only just above 20.

And we have had no attachments added since Sunday last week.

August has com to an end with only an average of 19.84 post per month - the first time we have not reached 20.

But surprising we had 33 posts today so before that the average was a bit lower still.

Where has everyone gone? The board is certainly quieter than it was back in the 2000's. It's a shame to see.

Facebook, and various fragmented echo chambers that are not visible to the general public, no doubt spurred by some of the more stringent social media policies we see enacted across many employers these days.

I've noticed that the overall user numbers for this board have been low for a long time. There was a time where the overall number of the board users was in the hundreds with huge numbers of guests and visible online members with maybe a dozen members online under hidden
