In a DDoS attack, so much artificial traffic is generated that the server is brought to its knees. We had this problem for the first time at the end of last week. Some of the normal functions could be restored by activating a "defense mode" in the software, but some of the "more dynamic" content then no longer works properly. This content is still affected, above all the ConditionsReport, but also the comments, and in some cases probably also logging in as a user.
Our IT support is working on a "defense mode" that also works with the CR and the other features. We do not know how long the attack will last. The IT experts hope to be able to reactivate the CR soon, even if it "defense mode" should be necessary for a longer period of time (which of course we hope not).
We apologize to everyone and especially to the Conditions reporters for this very annoying situation. The PG team is at least as unhappy as you are...
