The server experience some issues that led me to disable its use on Tuesday 10 Oct. To the best of my troubleshooting skills, it appears that the system clock of the hosting server had been incorrectly dialed back by about 12 hours. This conclusion was based on the following:
- Successful posts earlier in the day.
- Attempted posts later in the day failed due to the forum "SPAM protection" that forces at least 10 seconds to pass in between posts/PM's.
- New posts from other users were inserted incorrectly into existing threads (appearing in the middle of the thread instead of at the end).
- Comparing known post times to GMT showed an offset of 10-12 hours (forum was reporting a time 12 hours earlier than actual GMT).
Lady emailed a support request to the provider, who confirmed that some customers were having issues and the problem was being worked on. At this time it is unknown whether it is resolved. I am reactivating the forum and will be monitoring it closely. I can be reached via PM or on MS IM with any questions or issues.

EDIT - Judging by the timestamp of this post, the host system clock issue appears to have been corrected. Again, the forum will be monitored closely today.
