This has happened periodically to various forums here at GW for at least the last year and maybe longer. Eventually the missing pages seem to reappear. I am not sure if Admin is discovering the problem of missing pages on their own and then restoring them, or if they only find/restore them after receiving messages of concern from folks on the affected forums. So, if it bothers you, you could send a message to the GW Administration to make sure they're aware of the missing pages. Dawn

Owbist it was green from WOT yesterday also but was throwing up the warnings on a google search and also from the browser as she showed. when these drive by infections happen on sites it is very fast and there is often no time for it to get registered as a bad site at WOT when it first hits a site, going by the warnings at google and the browsers warning are what to go by because they can catch the code variations quickly. In time if it stays an infected site WOT will have time to catch it and rate it, WOT depends on people like all of us to put the notifications on so when we know of a bad site we need to use our WOT notifications and rate it and most importantly leave the reason why so people know. I googled it again just now and it is not showing the warning on google so hopefully they were notified and removed the malicious code.

In the grand scheme of things, a few days without ancestry access is not an unendowing hardship. It's a great opportunity to check other sources such as county web sites, county historical societies, a google search, and read some blogs. You never know where or when you will run across an idea or a name or a source you didn't know about or maybe be reminded about a source you thought you had exhausted. It's easy to get stuck in a rut and go to ancestry automatically, I do it, too. But the branches I have dangling are not at ancestry - yet. So follow up on the siblings and children. Trace the parent's siblings. The grandparent's siblings. In those days it wasn't uncommon to have multi generations in one house. I found the reason for a move from Wisconsin to Iowa by reading the Iowa census page by page. Ggggrandmother on page 1, her brother on page 2 with his daughter and family. Makes me think that's why she and her two grandchildren moved to Iowa. The family members from both sides had always lived near each other. The families were a true spider web. No web site is immune from a Dos attack. It's not anything they planned to do to annoy you. It's no different than Black Friday. Do you get mad at the world if you don't get the item you went after? Do you rant on facebook or blog posts? Well, yes, some people do but what's the point. The store didn't run out of the item just to get back at you for some unknown reason. Getting the site back up is no different than your boss standing beside you asking, "Are you done yet? Time is money., Are you done yet? Time is money., Are you done yet? Time is money. " Do you get done quicker under that kind of pressure? Do you want it fixed for a few minutes?

I don't see it; maybe because my OS is older. I can't even update Safari anymore. Possibly. I'm using 10.9.5, though, so not exactly up to date here. You do know that you can just press command+up arrow to go to the top of the page? I rarely bother with the arrow on the page, since my Ghostery list of trackers found covers it up.
