Let me know if you see any errors.
Yes, I know there's an error message at the top when you create a new post. But you can still make a new post. I'll fix that when I can figure it out.
The forums should mostly be the same, though I moved the forum-specific disclaimers out of the headers of some of the forums into either a guidelines post or a link to the main web site.
So what just happened?
- We changed Internet Service Providers.
- The homepage has been replaced with a content management system for ease of updating. Don't get too used to the design, that's going to change. Also, I dumped the content from the old site into the new CMS but I haven't had time to verify everything. For example, I know the Spotlights page and Downloads page under Resources are hosed. The links on the Links page are probably mostly broken. Again, as I have time I'll fix those.
- It took so long because I was plagued by issues with my internet provider, the local one, not the one where the site lives now. Late Sunday night those issues (DNS TTL for those tech savvy types out there) resolved themselves and I was able to move the database.
- Your friendly neighborhood moderator team is dedicated to enhancing this site and maintaining it indefinitely. While I'm basically leading the charge, a few of the moderators will have all the information for all the accounts related to this site. This will insure that the site continues on no matter what.
- The forum software is still the same old version 6.5.5. I attempted a test upgrade on my own server and it mostly worked, as long as you didn't want to read any posts. I've posted on the UBB Threads support forum and as soon as I figure out what went wrong I'll perform the upgrade here. But that interruption should be minimal (he says cautiously).
Feel free to ask anything about the site or the maintenance. I'll leave this thread up at the top for a while.
