Website Update

Hey! The website will see some down time tonight. Hopefully, not a lot. But, you never know.

We're moving to a new server. Looking for a little more speed and a lot more reliability. And maybe resolution to our long standing email block issue. (domains like Verizon and Yahoo and Hotmail tend to bounch FAST email, it's been an annoyance for years!)

We're going offline around midnight. Back up ASAP.

Back online, but the server move hasn't taken place yet. We'll revisit this on Tuesday. There may be a little bit of down time again. Meanwhile, business as usual.

Okay, we're back to a potential state of flux. There will likely be a period of website and/or forum unavailability sometime Tuesday. If all goes well, we'll have it all sorted out by Tuesday evening.

AND the email notification started working again.

Good move.

Hoping for a lot of goodness. Getting our email to go through to places like Verizon, Yahoo and Hotmail is one of the things we were trying to achieve, though.

We're finally reaching the "end game" of our web server reconfiguration. Philip and I (mostly Philip) have been working behind the scenes, and now have things running on a new server... and holy crap, is it fast! You'll have to let us know if you can tell the difference. But, no my end, the website pages are loading a little faster, and the forum is loading REALLY fast! Loving it!

With all of this should come much greater reliability. Plus the end of our email blocking issues, as previously mentioned. This has been a long time coming.

Big thanks to Philip for his help. If you need any web work done, I highly recommend him.
