In preparation for the migration, I'm updating the forum software tonight. Likely around 9-10PM EDT.
Just an FYI in case stuff goes south.

It certainly wasn't flawless. Ran into problems complicated by the very reason we're switching hosts. The board was down longer than I had intended. Sorry about that.
I think things are back to working order. You'll be notified when the next step in the process will happen.

Nice job, Tim! It seems to be working better, and if it takes time, we all get it. No worries!! Thanks for what you do!

I'm going to try and get to more this weekend. I figure it's a good time since a large chunk of the membership is riding flat & straight roads in Ohio.
I will try to put up another announcement before there is more downtime, but don't be surprised if the forum is down before you see it.

Tim - if we need to curb activity to help, I'll just put Wheaton in time out - that should cut traffic on the site in half for a day or so...
Thanks for all your efforts on this, definitely seems snappier, even on slow hotel wi-fi!

It’s amazing when someone who knows what they’re doing actually does something instead of just covering up technical ineptitude with social ineptitude.

Is it just me or is the search function not working?

I put a search term in the search box, hit the looking glass and got no hits. Maybe I'm missing something - not sure if I have used the search function on this forum before or not.
