Good morning, here is an update on the forums. The new host Site5 may have rolled back the database when I ask them to correct the errors that occurred during the migration. We see how well that worked out. since my confidence level in their services is very low. I am afraid to ask them to attempt correcting this. The expert I brought in gave me some recommendations but I do not want to risk it at this time. Its a shame we are not seeing the July 4th 2018 holiday postings. If you really thing about the forums, they are a forward progressive posting event with an occasional look at the historic data, we should be to get past the missing 3 months data. I am also going to migrate the site again in the near future to a new host I have more confidence in, hopefully with a USA based phone support to correct issues. This type of hosting is very costly but necessary to keep things running smoothly. The missing postings from May, 18 to September may be able to be recovered by the new host. That is the update to this point.

Glad they were able to get most of it back!

I was on the paranoid side thinking one of the recent banned members had done a hack job on the site. Glad it was not and glad you are up.

Has anyone been having little problems getting on the last two days. I’ve been able to get on, but not directly. I’ve had to login, then just put something in the search and then click on something, after this I’m able to view the forums. However, if I just go straight to the forums, my browser just acts as though it is loading and never reaches the forums, eventually just gives me a blank page with bulletin and tab buttons. Might just be something on my end.

I am able to get on but the load time is excessive-like leave the room and do something else for 10 minutes while it loads excessive.

Me too. Slow on desktop Chrome but no issues on my iPhone (also chrome)

Thanks, was thinking it was me.

I’m the opposite lol. Desktop is better, iPhone is the worst.

Took 4 tries to login tonight. Forum messages loading slow, but not prohibitively so.

[PYRODAN]

I have the same issue. All pages are very slow to load in the forums.

I should have emailed you during outage for my daily pyro fix lol.

Same here. I haven’t tried to upload a picture, I’m afraid to think of the time it would take. Possibly, it will be quicker haha.

I had the shakes too buddy!! Had to run out to the garage and handle some July 4th leftovers just to come back down again.

Feeling much better now though. :cool:

Haha, having leftovers is always nice to scratch the itch on a cool fall evening.

Unfortunately my cool fall evenings don't get here until Feb. But I get your point.
