Virus possible

Postby pedigreeann » Sun Aug 14, 2022 8:05 am

When I log in and try to access a horse name, the pane for the pedigree shows gobbledegook typical of virus. (I lost a lot of data to a virus some years ago.) I can sometimes get the pedigree to come up if I repeatedly ask for it, but not always. I closed your site (I usually keep it up at all times) and opened it again and the problem remained. I have seen nothing like this on any of the other pages from other sites that I access, which leads me to believe the problem lies with this site. It started just two or three days ago.

I think it definitely has something wrong.

I had the same thing you mention yesterday. Every so often that kind of thing happens, though not as much as it did yesterday.

Today, it's worse - several screens saying it is not working, cannot "handshake", etc.

Still intermittent, but I fear we'll have a total collapse in a little while.

This has been happening intermittently for weeks if not months in my experience as I frequently update race records. It has been really bad today though, I think it's more of a coding issue for the website as opposed to a virus. Maybe they're doing upgrades for the website that is causing these issues temporarily?
