    The Forums vanish for weeks. Suddenly, they return.
    Have I overlooked an explanation of this most recent disappearance?

    Is this to be the pattern of the future?

    I was away on medical leave. UBC IT server protection algorithms were tripped because this server was trying to communicate with a hostile domain to confirm a new registration email address. UBC IT shut down the server to the public and then restored it, all while I was absent.

    Thank you, Daniel, for this explanation.

    I am glad that both you and the Forums have returned, and hope all is well with you.
