(blinking quickly as I open the door and peek out at the big ball of fire in the sky)... THERE IS LIGHT!!!! After a fun few days....

The new server is online and we are on the air.

If you've been trying to get to the website over the past few days, I'm sorry for the delay. Moving servers almost ALWAYS takes double the time you budget.

Mike,

Thanks for doing a great job of managing this board. No apologies required. We greatly appreciate everything you do.

No problem! I actually have a bit of fun with this stuff. Ah, and don't forget to tell me about problems if you see them. I'm sure there are small things I've missed along the way.

Oh, btw, this new server is QUICK!!!!

Don't feel bad Mike - I see that ebay is DOWN right now...ha ha ha.... Maybe you should call and offer some help !!

Good to see you worked though it...

kind regards,

Carl B.

Thanks Mike. I was having SERIOUS withdrawl. Cheers, Mike

Thanks for all of your efforts, Mike!

It's great to have you and everyone else back again. I miss this site more than any others when it is down!

Good job, I also was having withdrawl.

Finally, I have reason to go online again!!!

Thanks Mike!

Woooohooooo. Thanks Mike.

Thanks Mike it does see faster . great job. Now if we can get in touch with little that would be super as well . Gary

Looking good so far, Mike. Looks like the mysql/php issue was fixed by the re-install.

Seems to be humming along nicely, searches are lightning fast.

Good Job! Now get some sleep!!!

looks like a great job, Mike.

pages seem to load a hell of a lot faster and the searches FLY. really noticeable on gallery downloads, pics just POP up.

not sure if you made the move from a modem yet, since the initial load of the site seems to be only slightly faster. but after that, it's noticeable. amazing what a couple of generations processor upgrade, etc will do.

what is still needed?

i can be convinced to add to my end-of-year donation with a beginning-of-year bonus. not much arm-twisting necessary.

Thanks for all the time and work spent.
