Yeah, I saw it go down and was worried. I'm glad to hear it is fixable, I absolutely adore the site. I will contact a few IT friends of mine and see if they can provide any help. If I get anything helpful, I'll let you know. Also, sorry to hear you are at a funeral, I hope it was no one too close.

Thank you so much for posting this. I'll boost the signal. I've been dithering with panic.

I really hope the site hasn't been taken hostage by the recent malware that's hit the ether. Ubergeek isn't a webmaster, but he's an i-net security specialist, including malware and intrusion detection. He knows zip about efiction, but if this is the recent ransom malware, he might be able to tell. Let me know; I'm on FB as Lin Thornhill.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for trying to fix this, and please don't give up. If you need to raise money to throw at it, I'm sure many of us would be more than happy to contribute. Ashwinder is so important to so many of us. <3

My husband is a network engineer which is obviously a little bit different than what you need; but I read him everything you typed and he said it just sounded like your file permissions were too generous and it was shut down as a precaution by their bots? Hopefully it will somehow be an easy fix...? Hang in there.
