Hi Folks!

Our server reliability hasn't been bad, but it hasn't been stellar either. We'd like to migrate to something that should be more reliable. If we're doing all of that work, we probably will not be continuing on this version of software. In fact, it will probably end up looking completely different.

One of the things that we can't migrate is our Foto Gallery. So please, if your only copy of a favourite photo is in that gallery, take yourself a copy. Also back up your PM box NOW and keep it emptyish because we won't recover those.

Thanks, and any suggestions you have, feel free to post it here. We want to maintain the majority of the good things about this forum, and try to keep all of the old messages if possible. However, we don't want to shoot ourselves in the foot for the future of the board.

We'll do what we can with your input.

Thanks,


Your Executive Team

Thanks for the heads up Steve. Any tips on exporting our PMs for backup?

Copy / paste if there's no graphics. Screenshots if there are. It won't happen this weekend if you need more time.

Any chance we'll still have a shoutboxer? :)

LOL. I got a PM about this. Should I back that up too?
