Dear members and visitors, we sincerely apologize for the troubles in the past 2 days. As you may have seen we tried to upgrade our forum software to the latest version but due to large server issues we had to revert the upgrade and make a restore of the site. During this process we have lost some of the posts and some of the newly registered members. Once again we apologize for all the trouble caused. WinCert.net

Due to a large number of spammers registering lately, we had to disable new registrations using gmail accounts. Until we found another solution for protection against spammers, this setting will remain active. :hatespam: WinCert Administration Team

Dear members and visitors, as you may all have seen, WinCert.net was down for 24 hours. Our SW RAID fell apart and we had to re-assemble the disks to get it back online. This was not an easy task to do as we went into more strange issues on the way of server recovery. Luckily, we managed to get back online with the help of several people that were working on this issue together. To avoid this situation, we will soon migrate to another server with Hardware RAID setup and offsite regular backups.

We sincerely hope that 'high load' and 'server busy' issues are behind us. Please write below any feedback you have regarding our new server performance or issues. Thank you for patience, WinCert.net Admin Team.

Dear members and guests. Once again, we are asked to upgrade our server package, since SDX or semi-dedicated server is not adequate for our needs.
