System improvements update
All BN systems are functioning normally.
The planned system improvements last night (BN Time/US Pacific Time) were completed successfully. We apologize if you were unable to access BN for brief periods as a result of system maintenance.
Please note that BN systems have not been affected by recent events such as the computer virus that affected some BN members or by attacks on other web sites. Our web hosting provider has systems in place, including firewalls and intrusion detection systems, to help prevent such problems.
Although this is not a BN-specific issue, we have provided information that may help keep BN members from being affected by the recent computer virus.
