The time has come when we will need to upgrade and change servers. For those of you who know how things work , we are moving to a different server which may take a little time to complete.
Once finished the forum should load faster and run smoother. We have been running at 82% for awhile now and peak out at a critical 93% at times. If we run out of disc space the site would go down and we could lose information.
They have started the migration process and will start moving things to a new server. I am not sure when the final move will take place but the final move will be me changing the DNS addresses from the old server to the new server.
If I have a chance, I will try and let you all know when this will take place, however I may not know myself. There will be a little down time, and I'm not sure how long that will be. Hopefully only a few hours, I hope.
So if you can't log in or bring the site up don't be alarmed.
I promise we will be back as soon as I can get us back up.

Thank you for your patience while we do this.

I run a monthly defrag and do a malware scan 3 times a week (it usually takes quite a few hours to run!). I've been waiting on an upgrade, but every time I enquire they just say "Don't call us, we'll call you!" - and it's been four years. They keep promising a new version "real soon now" with all these fancy new features - like fast potassium ripping, boosted urine production functionality and the ability to stay up for a much longer period of time than before. Shiny!

ahh... sounds nice.  I've only recently gone wireless, though I still have to plug in to recharge.  Am having trouble with calcium/phosphorus optimization.  I've been troubleshooting that one for a while, but nothing seems to work.  Urine production functionality has gone down iover time, but it hasn't seemed to affect performance

UPDATE:

The migration portion of the upgrade is finished and now as soon as they show me how to log into the new server, I have to check everything over to make sure it all works properly. Once that is done then they make the final switch to the new server and then I will point the DNS to the new server asap. Still not sure when we will be done but we are a big step closer.

The amazing thing is that so far I haven't even noticed a bump or a flicker in service.  Well done!

Basically the upgrade is finished. We are still tweaking a few things but that seems like an endless job anyway.

I can't modify my profile.  I'll put the arrow on "Modify", and several options come up, but when I try to put the arrow on any of them, the whole option list disappears.  I've modified my profile several times in the past, and I've not had a problem until now.

I'm still trying to get email notification of PMs.

If anyone can sort this out, I'd be grateful.
