The upgrade will go on in the background while the forum can still work. It will complete later.

I have noted that every now and then there is an unusually large number of visitors to the site which likely means a hack/spam attempt. I imagine this happens to many forums on a regular basis.

As a result if the login problem happens again let us know by email Image (please ensure this email is added to your contacts so it does not go to spam/junk folder). Or you can contact us via our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheOptom/
