Sorry, folks.
I'd been fighting some problems with the site for a few days now. Part of the problem is the typical Russian and Chinese hackers playing games. Typical blocking maneuvers usually work quickly, but this one was more difficult.
In the end, I had to stop the server and check all the db tables and repair many of them. Two ended up being corrupted and required recovery.
I apologize for the downtime and hopefully, we've got it resolved.
