Our server transfer is underway and the dns updates are going through as I write this. Tonight I'll be transferring this olde site and its 120,000+ messages and 3,000+ users to the new server and getting the search function back online (fingers crossed). There may be some downtime and some messages may be lost in the transfer. :-(

So, if you're writing an elaborate post please save a copy.

It turned out taking a lot longer due to some complications with getting the board to interface with a database, but it appears to be working well now. And it seems about 5x faster.

Dave,

Probably lot's of frenetic folks today not being able to post. Whew, that must have been a nightmare for you.

You do a great job keeping this thing going.
