23. Thank you!

[Ligyron]

24. Yes, thank you for your professionalism!

I don't even know what a script attack is. I went and looked it up too, lol.

This attack is why everybody needs to join DU and kick in a few bucks every year. I don't even think there is a minimum amount one has to donate to become a star member. Money well spent.

This happened right as the special council appointment was being announced too. Weird, huh?

Some people are afraid of the truth while others celebrate it.

[cannabis_flower]

25. Wow

That was back up fast! Good job!

[Zoonart]

26. Thank You, Guys!

My heart skipped a beat again yesterday when Du went down. I was THRILLED to see my life line back up again this morning. You guys ROCK!

[IndianaDave]

27. I haven't been a member for very long, but I've been here long enough to

recognize and appreciate the speed with which you brought everything back. Very impressive! Thank you for all your efforts to make DU a source of excellent information and dialog, and to keep it up and running!

[TNNurse]

28. So grateful to find the site up this am.

Thank you for your hard work.

[stonecutter357]

29. K&R!

[ProfessorGAC]

30. Didn't Know About It Until This Morning

I'm guessing i'm one of those who were attacked, because i had a reply deleted by the admins and my post was pretty innocuous. I didn't even mention a single person by name, so not sure how a script would have ID'd my post.

But, everything seems back to normal!

[democratisphere]

31. Great job getting the site up and running again! Screw the damn alt-right hackers.

[madokie]

32. I need to update my info

such as my email address but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it. I tried to send them a small donation, via paypal last night but it didn't go through. I suspect its because of my email address has changed. I left fairpoint.net for vyve for my ISP and with that my old email that I'd had for years went with the change.

Anyways how do I change my info at DU so I can slide a few bucks their way.

I realized yesterday evening Just how much this place means to me for keeping up with the workings of the world stage, ie one orange anus and company in particular. I do have a 10 year old grand daughter that I worry for her future and this orange anus/ menace is making it worse

[canetoad]

35. Go to the 'My Account' page

Link is on the very top right of the page, just along from your name in red.

Once there, just below the account tab, is the line "Account Information Edit"

Click on the word Edit

[madokie]

38. Thank you

You'd think I ought to be able to figure that out but nope I couldn't. LOL

[mopinko]

33. thank god we are back. the fb page was a stark reminder

of what we dont have to see every day here.
so much yuck.

[Skittles]

my first thought was, they're fed up with my ass kicking threats

[canetoad]

36. Guilty conscience????

I'd taken the dogs out for their early morning run, got home, settled down with a coffee and .....

To Skinner, Earl G and Elad, well done guys. You run a great site here.

[Hula Popper]

37. love this place

I'm already a somewhat angry old white guy....When this site is down I have nowhere to go and get facts and a bit of not so facts.
Not having hufpo any longer severely limits my knowledge of drumph and who the kardashians are boinking this weekend...

[Beringia]
