Does Julie have an IT background? Her fix worked for me and it was very easy to apply. Using Chrome with adblock. Of course I whitelisted this site so I do get ads since it is a good idea to support the provider.

I can't seem to get on to Elements Village at all. I've tried with Firefox, with AdBlock Plus disabled I've tried setting a filter but couldn't find where to type in the characters suggested I've tried using Internet Explorer without any addons I don't have Chrome, and am reluctant to download it as I don't like it Does that mean I'm stuffed? At least we have this forum  |

At least we have this forum It is unknown at this time what is being done about this at EV. I so hope they can turn these assailants away one last time; it would be such a sad way to end... |

Unfortunately Elements Village is GONE  Just saw this a few minutes ago on the Facebook page: Rick LePage 39 mins · Portland, OR, United States I'm in the process of wiping out the Elements Village server right now. I wish it didn't have to be this way, but this morning has been just a bit overwhelming (I was away all weekend, and missed the original attack), and frankly, it is the right thing to do at this moment. I don't know when I'll be able to reconnect the EV URL with a static web page -- it might be a few days, so if someone here could let the other community sites know about EV going away, I'd appreciate it. It might have been one hacker today, but this is the type of thing that's been going on behind the scenes for quite some time. My biggest fears have always been that someone would hack into the member database and get usernames and email addresses. This latest attack isn't that -- it's a pretty blatant injection/redirect attack -- but I can't really protect the site at all at this point. With only a short period of time until the scheduled shutdown, it seemed appropriate to make the call. As I said on EV a couple of weeks ago, there are some fine places for the members to hang out now, so, while I am sad about EV going away, I am heartened that the community will live on around the web. Godspeed, everyone. Rick |

As of this morning Rick has been forced through hackers to take the site down, He notified us on FB at the EV Suburbs Group.

I had a bad feeling yesterday when I tried to get on and I was hoping it was just me. It is sad that these people have to do things like this. Just wonder why they don't put their talents to good use and not crap like that. It is so sad to see EV end like this. Thanks for all the info about about EV - time to remove it from my favorites |

It is sad that EV is now gone. I agree with every one else's sentiment... RIP EV
I am so happy that Rick was able to give us enough time to get this and the other sites up and running to be able to keep the EV community alive!
Thank you Rick!!!!!!!!
