It has timed-out the last 2 days. No error message and looks like a DDS issue.

Yes, our main users are... bots, and a gang of chinese bots has been hitting us hard recently. I have added a few defenses to keep them at bay. Crossing fingers.

Chinese bots? I'm guessing they hate open source software (like Gimp) and want a World with just corporate software.  Big Grin

More like training their AI, I think.

I thought their bots were already world leaders  Smile How long before they lean on the IOC to accept robots in track and field events? 
I'm glad you posted because I wanted to test the 'Post a New Reply' functionality here.

Recently when posting I can't move around the window or go to a new line. I'm thinking it's either poor keyboard housekeeping or I've been infected by bots. Today posting a reply works perfectly Smile

I wonder if it will use my north-east accent.  A dead giveaway.

I think they should use your accent Rich. Not happy with producing ready to use art they want to help people make art with Gimp. When they figure out how Rich solves so many Gimp questions, they will have to monetize it to meet server farm running costs Smile
