Thanks to all for tolerating the frequent slowness of the current Forum...
We have purchased a new server and a new data pipe....things will improve when we bring it online.
We have done a test run of the transfer and it went well....
Over the next 48 hours, we will shut the Forum down for hopefully just a short span... to migrate the SAACForum to the new server.
We will try and do this during the overnight to minimize down time.
You will see a Maintenance message while the transfer is in progress...and log ins will be shut off. The final step will be pointing the domain to the new server.. and normal operation will resume after that

Thanks Ron! I've always said a little patience goes a long ways. We ALL appreciate the efforts of everyone involved with the task of FORUM repair & maintenance.

yes thanks Ron for all your time working on this.
Yes, Thank you. The elephant in the room question..... does the new server have a back up? Not intended to be snarky in any way, just thought I would ask and see if there was something in place going forward with all the new information that will be added. I'm sure everyone would like to know.
Thanks and much appreciated - Doug
Today is the first day that I've experienced a significant improvement in the site's performance and it's been great! Thank you to all who are working to get this site running well again - it is much appreciated!
Fantastic! Best news ever! Many thanks!
Outstanding! And, thanks for the heads up as well. The last shutdown came as a surprise to some of us...and by that, I'm referring to myself.
Thanks!

Awesome
Thanks for the updates. I am guessing that given the new site, all prior posts are now history and gone?
Thanks

Maybe we get a surprise?
Well spent money. One might transfer old vintage stickers to the new server box at least for a memory effect?

Just got on the site this morning. Man is it fast. I don't recall flying through the posts this quickly. I am assuming this is the new server. Job well done!
Thanks guys for all the hard work.
Is it just me, or is the website super slow to load and post over the last 24 hours? At first I thought it was the pictures I was trying to load. But, I just tired to post text without a picture and it seemed to take really, REALLY long.
...just checking. ;)
Yes very slow to log in and load posts
