Guest, the forum is undergoing some upgrades and so the usual themes will be unavailable for a few days. In the meantime, you can use the forum like normal. We'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the 2025 Survey »
Dear @Jaylee - the forum has gone back to this style temporarily as we were receiving 6k+ bot requests a second and needed to minimise the variables. As soon as we've blocked the bots, we'll install all of the styles again. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks for working on fixing forum issues.
With the change to red, information about type of diabetes and medication in peoples avatars has disappeared as well. I hope you'll be able to reinstall this, things can get dangerously confusing without this information.

If you click on the name under the avatar this will take you to the profile page of the member, all the info that a member has added is still there if you need it
I mentioned upstream suspecting “guests.” Or bots..
Scrolling through the lists. Some were doing some odd random stuff like viewing really old topics & member profiles too?
I also notice the actual member traffic v low whilst the forum goes “Britney.”

Everything will be restored properly...promise! We received an incredible number of requests from Russian IPs which seems to have been the cause of the issues we were having last week.
We have now successfully had a few days of no further problems and will be putting things back to normal over the next week or so.

Thanks for getting back to us.
Fully appreciate the challenges of the smooth running of a site. Big respect to the team..
If it’s any help. I’ve had “non trusted site” warnings for DCUK on safari only? (Not on my Android browser.)
Could be a recent update patch on my iPad? (Don’t worry, not expecting any personal feedback on my situation.)
Not a normal occurrence with an Apple update.
