  I was checking out Bobby G's and thought it was just him and then I noticed that it's all of us. Interesting.

  Someone trying to write code really screwed up.

  I sent BP an e-mail...to their customer support..and to Jay@betterphoto. Hopefully a simple fix..and not indicative of something more serious.

  Yep was fixed. When I logged in last night I could not so sent a password re-set and got a really odd password sent to my email. When I logged on, everything in my personal account was change except my email - my name, my address, my phone number - so after several tries I was able to change my password and update the info. Then a little while later everything went off-line including my website which is hosted here.

This morning I was able to log-in using my old password so they must have re-set with an old back-up.

I don't know if they were hacked or not, I also sent an email asking if they were hacked and if my credit card on file was compromised. Hopefully they will explain what happened soon but in the meantime - keep a watch on your credit cards if you have one on file!

  Lynn, hacking never occurred to me. I just thought it was due to a typing error when writing code but you gave good advice.

Any other web site that I use will, from time to time, announce that the site will be shut down at a certain time for maintenance. I don’t ever recall BP doing that; I’m sure it is extra difficult to perform such duties while on line.

  I checked my emails last night to see if BP had sent a maintenance email as they do take the site down on occasion to upgrade, etc.. BUT I didn't see an email so I was worried it was something else (hackers/virus).. Just happy its back to normal now :)

Nothing to see here - move along... Wxeaplni Weaplni
