If I try to access the forum via "www.mflenses.com" I always get the message "Under maintenance... sorry about inconvenience!".

If I, however, use google search for a specific thread, I can access it without problems. Once "inside", I can log in, look at the new postings etc - everything seems normal.

The issues persists in spite of clearing out the cache and the cookies, and it appears both on my mobile as well as on the laptops (Win 10 / Firefox).

So ... Is the forum still "under maintenance", and if so, why is there seemingly normal activity whenever I log in via google search and a specific thread?

Thanks Wink

Thank you for your report! Unfortunately I had to shut down mflenses.com due non stop DOS attacks, old software big hope they can brake it. That will be the next to fix.

I have to log in every time I come back. Not a big deal just not accustomed to that.

I updated the template and put some own business ads to the header.
If you prefer the old look on top Legacy theme button take you there.
In profile you can also switch to legacy black.
