| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We had earlier this morning as you may have seen, been given an info page that the board was under maintenance. Now it seems that there are a few things that haven't been quite worked out yet and you may have difficulties with features on the board and may even lose the site. I wouldn't think it would take very long for them to be fixed. ... I copied this from where I posted it in the Random Thoughts thread. At the time I had lost the site for a little while and didn't want to take the chance when I did get back on, not to leave a notice for all of you somewhere at least. ATTENTION [Editing in] Pm's are now affected by this so I would hold off on sending any pms until further notice.

| Yeah the p.m. thing is looking a little twilight zone to me here too. Holding off on sending them is a good idea until Forumotion gets their stuff together. _________________ ”Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy." ~H. L. Mencken

| ok, boards were down yesterday, along with other issues like being able to post/send PM's or navigate through the boards, missing icons ect. ect. ect. this was and is do to Forumotion (our forums hosting company) adding more/better servers and having to move the database and do to them being on French time their day was over before those of us in the US/ canada/ not europe. Hopefully they are done and everythings set now, Sorry for the lack of warning and dead boards, I didn't know they were doing this yesterday _________________  |

Yep, I got it last night too, but I just hit the back button a couple times and I was able to get around it. Also, when I logged in this morning, the page looked pretty different: just the background color, and the text looked like a Word document (everything in Times New Roman). Weird. |

| I enjoy the double p.m.'s and the white page that pops up between waiting for another page to load. These new servers are great. _________________ ”Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy." ~H. L. Mencken

I got the white screen of doom again. It's no problem, but it looks like updates are still under way. |

Dear users,
As you know, Forumotion has been suffering slowdowns for the past few days. These issues appeared while installing new servers. Therefore, we have been facing here a hardware problem that we are trying to repair as fast as possible. It's with this in mind that we announce you a complete and last maintenance on our service Thursday at 2:00 PM (GMT +1). Your forums will be unavailable for a period of time between 20 and 60 minutes.
Please do not worry, this is a routine maintenance so there is no risk of data loss on your forums.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Best, Forumotion staff.
