I gotta figure after running around in that big ole turbine powered girl all day, you've got a Gamefisher with a 9.9... Welcome bud, love to go fast! :605_thumbs_up:

Hell of a birthday to have, Jim...

With what Ranger has gone through in the last few years, i.e. industry downturn, Genmar BK, new owners, etc., it's not surprising that this issue got put WWWAAAYYY aside, if not ignored... Sounds like they are finally stepping up to the plate. A lot of this same type of crap from different builders shows up on THT, the Team Bloodsport Contender thread probably being the most notorious. Now, not saying who's right and who's not in all these various scenarios, I;m just saying for a little bit of money, a builder can go a long way towards building a great reputation...

Ben, The PL?

Ironically, Ted's last post on THT was post #6000, a little tidbit pointed out by our friend here, TriumphRick... And his last post...http://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-outdoor-photos/268706-building-27ft-cc-79.html#post3885206 His little granddaughter and Mr. Nibs in the sig pic...

Tim, But you know, just as it is with you guys in Texas, we expect an undefeated season and a National Championship every year! High expectations, I know, but once you've tasted the holy grail, well...

Tim, You know by my avatar where I stand...but LSU...and South Carolina (OMG!)...and a new coach... GO GATORS!!!

This is weird...really weird.

Good to see everybody's happy today! Still raining here...3 days in a row...getting old... Carry on, fellas! :2261_high:

Damn, Kerry, how dare you stay on topic, when this thread is about as de-railed as it can get? Agreed with you on the complexity. Certain things that should have been restored by now on THT are still giving people issues. Any of your Aussie friends have a suggestion?

Just goes to show you Dave, age is simply a chronological measurement...

Should've posted this a few pages ago...

Well, we'll see how today goes...

Be afraid...be real afraid! Keep the public in fear, and you can get away with almost anything...

For those of you, and there are many, who knew Ted, he will be sorely missed, both as a contributor, but, more importantly...as a friend. Bless his soul, bless his family, especially that cute little granddaughter of his, climbing on his boat... Too many good people in this world die far too early.

Didn't mean to offend anyone, certainly not Wiley. I know my way around my computer, but all this DoS, hacking crap is not only WAY beyond my pay grade, it is also something I would never do, never even consider! People like Wiley work hard to operate forums like RB, to me hacking them is like stealing...a no-no. And yeah, Marlin, I probably needed a new router anyway. Like I said, the old was somewhere around 6 years old, and at $30, who really gives a chit? I'm good to go, it's good to see you and Chris here, you guys ought to stop in more often! :605_thumbs_up:

I wear it a lot, do my best...

Wiley, I NEVER accused you, or any of the people you might have working with you, about the issue that happened on THT...MANY times! Go back and read my posts. I said it had to do with SOMEONE on here...a member. You didn't get that?

While you're on St. Armands, have dinner at the Columbia, second oldest one behind the original in Ybor. Pork stuffed with Chorizo... St. George's St. in St Augustine, you'll love it. The newer buildings were built in the late 1700s, skip the Oldest House tour...it's an old effin house! Excellent B & Bs along the bay just south of the bridge with the lions...

It's also pretty surprising that Wiley would accuse me of the hack as he wrote in post 18...

Based on my input to this site over the past 2 1/2 years, that is an insult. I think highly of you, and respect the dedication that you have shown to both the "original" THT and to reelboating. But that comment, sir, was uncalled for...

Alright boatman, what motor, what tranny model, and maybe you/we can get somewhere. May be the same oil as used in the motor, may be 80-90W gear oil...without knowing specifics, we're as blind as you are...

The prevailing issues all point to routers, either wireless or wired. Some were cured with resetting to factory settings, some were cured by a different IP, some were cured (like mine), with a new router. Think about the logic here. We get our internet via cable, which sends the signal to our computers through an ethernet cable. Now, I could take the router out of the equation, plug the cable from the modem into each computer and access THT with no problem. Put the old router back in the equation? Problem returns. Buy a new router, ditch the old, no more problem. Sooooo, my guess is that at the time of the RB ads being posted on THT, a piece of code was attached to the THT URL, which then infected the router and stayed there. Anytime after that, the THT URL was blocked, tricking Chrome, Safari, Firefox, whatever, from seeing the URL and accessing the site. So the THT IT guys find the rougue code and get rid of it. My new router doesn't have that piece of code in it, so it has no problems. Sounds like quite the hacking scheme, doesn't it? No radical message anytime you tried to access THT, no computers crashing, no issues with any other site, and a simple benign message from your server saying the site can't be found. That's my theory, if anyone has a better one...and no aliens or Twilight Zone, please...

If you called ZF, I assume you're talking transmissions... Way to go on posting a boating question, but be a bit more specific next time, OK? :605_thumbs_up:

Nope, new router solved my issues, although I did reset as you did. As I said, something from here happened over there...
