Great News!

skinning.net is back!

Wednesday, September 15, 2010 by DrJBHL | Discussion: Community

Just as a Community service, I'm posting an email I got from Shawn Taylor this a.m.

This is very good news for the Community! There'll never be enough skinning/customization sites!

Here it is:

Skinning.net was briefly taken down by hackers. We have upgraded our software and we will soon be making some design changes as well as updating our file upload/download system. We want to assure you that no member data or personal information was comprimised at any time. The hosting was hacked and used for a phishing email attack without our knowledge. We have since implemented some changes to our hosting to be sure that this will not happen again.

Our software was not compromised during the attack - only the hosting - so all of the wonderful community downloads and tutorials/news stories are still fully intact.

If you happen to find any issues with the upgraded system or have some design suggestions - please email us at [email protected] - Thank you all very much for being a member of our community driven site and please stop by and check us out.

Regards,
Shawn Taylor

Enjoy!

Good news, Doc! Now if I could just remember my logon details, I can't seem to get logged on there anymore.

There are still some bugs to be ironed out with logins.  I'm not able to get on myself.

Physically impossible, I'd expect....bit like picking yourself up by your own shoe laces....

[pssst....put a comma after 'on'].

I didn't know we were in a grammar class. Maybe I should check the grammar and punctuation for dummies book before I post.
