It was back up and okay last night and this morning (earlier) - has it been down AGAIN? If it was hacked again, then you gotta wonder about their security . . . .

umm, maybe you didn't see the post above yours, kudzurose, but boomspeed is located in Houston, TX, which is currently underwater. There were many people killed, and business there came to a standstill.

Boomspeed was back up yesturday, but something weird is going on now, when you go to boomspeed all I see is a model of a chevy instead of a place to sign in, Some of my pics are not mine, one was of a blimp? I have no idea if this is because of the unfortunate floods there or something else, If anyone knows what's going on please let me know. Thank You

revvassago - ummm, yes, ummmm I did read it. I know perfectly well where Boomspeed is, as I am registered there. I also know that it was okay last night and this morning, but right now several of my auctions have the images switched; one book I have listed on which the bidding has been brisk, and it ends tomorrow night, now has a teapot shown instead of the book. Another has a pair of shoes instead of a picture of an orchid.
The boomspeed office was never flooded - they just lost internet service. I don't think what I'm seeing on my auctions now is due to high water!

After the recent talk around the boards about boomspeed I decided to register and give it a try today.
Guess I picked a bad day to get an initial impression of them.
I too get someones photos no matter what area I try to go to there.
Hmmmmmmm.

Those unfortunate enough to have pictures on Boomspeed are not having a good day! Pictures in auctions are being replaced (rotated) with all sorts of images: naked plastic baby dolls, barbie dolls, plates of food, dishes, etc.
Another reason to have a webspace that you can control and to FTP your own pictures....

Engelskdansk, I think you are right about it being down for the count.
Still hacked and I haven't heard a peep from them about what they are doing about it.
