    Apologies about the extended outage over the past day or so ... there were some security issues which I needed to investigate and I had to upgrade the software to the latest version to avoid these issues happening again.

    I'm still ironing out the last few bugs (some of the images didn't upload correctly), but hopefully things should return to normal soon.

    Let me know if you find anything which doesn't look right or doesn't seem to be working correctly.

    The angry or mad smilie doesnt have an image. Also on some pages the quote button is pixilated and sometimes the post reply one is too. Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the hard work to keep us "live," Sims!

    Hi Sim,

    Got this message as I tried to make the galleries as read.

    Every time I tried to access Zoochat, my anti-virus on-scanner informed me that it had blocked a malicious software (i.e. Trojan Horse) from entering my computer.

    I use both Avast Home Edition (free) and Windows Defender (free too) on my computer so I feel safe and I'm sure that the thing didn't manage to do any damage.

    Those that do not have virus programs should consider install the above ones or other free ones. And of course, if you used Zoochat yesterday before Sim took the side down, I'd suggest especially that you download one and scan your computer!

    I just tried to start a new thread - is that not allowed? I typed in a big (for me) review of a zoo and submitted it and then it said I wasn't logged in. I had just logged in (which I don't usually need to do). Wish I had saved my review first since it disappeared into the ether. Could this be related to the previous problem?
