Well, THAT sucked!

Let me know if something is not working, or you think something could be made better.

Well, THAT sucked!

Sorry about that everyone.

Our host decided to change direction and only host WordPress sites. I have until the end of December to find a new server.

But in the mean time, their migration efforts took us down and there was nothing I could do to get us back before now.

He did, to me via email.

Glad to see it back! Are you spoiled for choice for new servers?

Oh man, is it good to see the old IRU brown and burgundy back. I was really in fear that this board was over.

This may be moot now, but in case you don't know, before the 'account suspended' notice came up, an 'error 500' notice appeared. It said to notify the webmaster at some particular cylan email address.
I tried that and the email just bounced back.

So that's what happened! I thought the problem was with my computer - it's been funny with certain websites for a while. (E.g. some no longer work on Google Chrome.) But as others have said, it's good to be back!

It threw several different errors depending on when and where you tried accessing it from.

None of it made much sense.

I'll be working on getting us moved over the next couple of days.

There will be times when we're down through the process. Hopefully, not for too long.

The migration appears to have been successful!

If you are reading this then you are on the new servers!

It does take time for DNS to propagate so if you saw a message that the board was temporarily disabled it's because you were still being pointed to the old location. This should resolve on its own within 24-48 hours.

Please reply that you've made it here.

Thanks!

Excellent, congrats on a smooth migration! That also explains why a reply I posted a while ago seems to have never existed, which had me doubting my sobriety.

Yes, I noticed that one post got lost. You must have made it JUST before I disabled the board, which I did within minutes of the move.

I can recover it from the old board but it would be easier for me if you just reposted it.
