Attention all members

As of right now, all functions of this forum have been shut down except for posting. This means that sending PM's and emails and posting of photos is no longer possible. This is a TEMPORARY condition only until after we upgrade. We are doing this, so you all can still enjoy posting to each other here.Otherwise, we would have some major downtime and you would have no access to the forums.

Please note that we are upgrading starting today. I do not know how long this process will take, but until everything is running smoothly these features are shut off-

Posting photos
Sending emails
Sending PM's
Using the search features.

This message will be going into every forum- Mentors please make note of this, and we are sorry if this adds to your workload of sending out greetings-

If for some reason this doesn't work- then we will shut down the forums until they are running smoothly

Thank you for your understanding and your consideration


Posting for Anne Moss webmaster and the Admin team-

Approximately how long will the upgrade be?

There is no telling Jane- it won't be an overnight move that is for sure. Our website is massive-

Fair enough!! No problems just wanted an approximate!! Totally understand, this website is HUGE!

I am told the initial move will happen this weekend- but now, all the prep work needs to be done so we can move.

thanks for all the work you do to keep this going. it is much appreciated!

what do u mean by moving?

They are changing servers! So they can put more on the website, as I'm sure at the moment they don't have enough room for this site on the current server they have. The web address will still be the same, but the information will be stored in a different polace!

Those of you in the computer know will understand this. Our load should be 2 our load is 100 we need to move to a bigger server- so we are.

ahh ok.. thanks!

Understood!
