I am planning to migrate our forum to a different server tomorrow morning (1 Sep 2017). I don't know exactly when this will happen, but will post a notice as soon as I figure out when and how long this will be down.

Is the forum in need of donations?

This is the best bike forum in all of history.:beer:

BTW, none of the moderators receive any compensation for their generous donation of their time -- and I really appreciate all they do to keep this place running smoothly.

I'm sorry to report, that the migration hit a snag and I will need to continue this work either Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Thanks for the kind words and I'm sorry it didn't happen today. This is going to take longer than expected, and I will need to set aside a bigger chunk of time for this task. I will post when this will happen as soon as I work this into my schedule.

Migrations are tense--and you need to have a clear head and not feel pressured to 'geterdone'

(there was that time when I broke the main research server at the Uni where I was doing computer support because I tried to rush it :no:)

Thanks for all the behind the scenes work that makes this place possible!

I have rescheduled the server migration for this afternoon. I want to get this done before we get smacked by Hurricane Irma. Sorry about this short notice, but I'm shooting for a start time of 4 to 5pm EDT and it will be down for a while. I'll post an exact time when I know more.

Good Luck, Keith. Hope Irma, the cause of the urgency, decides to take a more benign path.

I'm going to push this back to around 8pm EDT this evening.

Ok, I'm shooting for 8:30pm EDT for the forum to go down. It will take several hours before it is back up.

Migration has started, but I will be able to keep the forum live for a little while longer.

Well I made the migration, but the security certificate is now broken. I'll try and get this solved as soon as possible.

Looks like the secure site is now working. Let me know if anyone notices any problems.

Now, stay safe from that rain shower headed your way.

Just got an error trying to upload a picture for new thread.

Says 'Server Error 500'. Happened when I started the thread, and when I tried to edit and add the picture in later...

Attached images don't appear to be showing -- check the first Zank thread at the top of the gallery.

Weird, some appear to be showing, others not.

Keith has Irma to worry about but we'll look into this as soon as we can.
