Aboristesite problems

arrow · Oct 5, 2013

Anyone having trouble jumping on this site? Can get to the homepage but when trying to get particular forums I get "cannot find server" message. I know they were attacked by adware this past week but now I cannot navigate at all.

Up for me right now.

What the heck! Must be something about my Mac not allowing entrance because of that adware attack from several days ago. Totally in the dark about this.

check out this site , it's a big help .Down For Everyone Or Just Me -> Check if your website is down or up?

Thanks Scooby. I tried it and it stated that its down for everybody which is puzzling since some guys state they are not having trouble.

Interesting.

Wonder if they are pulling from their cache as opposed to getting it from AS's servers?

Down for Everyone is usually pretty accurate. Watch out for typos though.

I don't go to arborsite often, but on another forum, some web geek guys mentioned that the site has had a lot of hacks recently. And that the owners aren't too quick to get things fixed.

Over the last few days, it's been screwed up, be glad when it's back up so I can see the hillbilly and redneck pictures from the WKY GTG. I'm going through terrible withdrawal symptoms, been checking CL a lot more often for chainsaws.

I'm on it.

/edit - but when I tried to go to the home page it hit linkbucks
However if I maneuver just thru the tree care forums it seems to work
And disabling javascript is reported to work best

Agreed... It's been way too quiet. I would say we're "still hacked" rather than "hacked again".

If you want to disable JavaScript in Chrome...

Open Chrome
Go to settings by clicking on the button under the RED X (looks like 3 horizontal lines)
Go to settings
Then, at the bottom of the settings page, click on the blue text "Show advanced settings"
Next, Click on the "Content settings" button
Lastly, "Do not allow any site to run JavaScript"

I can get on and navigate with your link but only here. Is this the only place you can maneuver through as well? Cannot go anywhere else w/o that adware taking over.
