    There is certainly at least a malware virus on the site which has locked my PC. Now cleaned by IT support but beware!

    Anyone thought of emailing [email protected] to make him aware?

    I have checked the website for malware and cannot find anything. The site opens in all my browsers. The links to videos and images no longer seem to work and will be taken off soon.

    The money side of the entries is handled by PayPal. All that is held on the esfrc website is the details of the entries, not payment details.

    Please contact [email protected] if you have problems with rather more detail than has been posted on here - which isn't a support forum for the esfrc website!

    Entries are now open. The first entry was accepted within a couple of minutes of the notification email going out.

    Symantec was blocking access to the site through firefox and problems with IE too - can't even get in via a proxy server

    Did you also report this error to the webmaster? This is NOT the support site for the esfrc website!

    The site has been hacked and is closed at present.

    I have tried to enter the entries site today and recieved an email to authorise my account. I activated this only to then be told that my account had not been authorised fully. I will contact web master but there are obviously difficulties with this site!

    The esfrc.org website is back up and entries are successfully being processed.

    The website had been hacked, which is what has been causing people problems. I am very sorry about this.

    The hack was that a file had been altered to make the website redirect to another. The site has been restored and the file removed. It seems to work now on all my platforms, with the exception of Safari on my iPod Touch. The error on the iPod is that you have to use "esfrc.org" rather than "www.esfrc.org".

    It may be that you still cannot get to the website. If this is the case, I suggest you follow this link to a page that gives instructions on how to reset your DNS details. This worked for me, but I can't give any guarantee it will work for you.

    Thanks for your patience and I look forward to seeing you entries flooding in.

    Don't forget, enter by Midnight Sunday 16th September 2012 to get a T-Shirt.

    Thanks
