Site Maintenance Update
 

The forum is up and running again after about 36 hours of downtime. What did you do with all your spare time? :)

The site is now on a different server and the problems we have seen lately should be over. Thanks to everyone for your patience when the old server was acting up.

Although the Forum is running I still have to fix many of the other features including PhotoPost. If you have problems with any areas of the site please try again later. Over the next several days all of the site features should return to normal.

Good job,Don....of course we'll probably find FLL in a strait jacket.....he cannot survive without the forum.

I got so many little jobs done. Some had been on the "honey do" list for months. My wife thinks it would be great to have downtime :eek: once a month. We will never agree on everything! :)

Great job Don! Thank you so much for all you do to keep this site going.

Yay, it's back! :D
 

I never realized how "dependant" on this site I am until it was not accessible for a while! :) Photopost is my home page!
Thank you, Don for all the time and hard work you put into this wonderful website. It is truly the best!

Hurray!
 

Well done, Don!

We all greatly appreciate the time and effort you contribute to make this one of the best online forums anywhere.

Thank you very much. This web site and forum is an amazing service you provide to us all.

Another Update
 

I've got almost everything working again and only have a few details remaining. The exception is PhotoPost. The transfer of 4 GB of data that contains all those pictures is going slowly. It was about half through this afternoon when something interrupted the transfer and I had to start again.

As soon as all the pictures are transferred I'll reopen PhotoPost and reconnect it to the Forum.

Until the transfer is complete there will be some broken images in Forum messages that link to PhotoPost images, especially McDude's history articles. Those pictures will fill back in as the transfer completes.

Sites of Steriod
 

Oh my God. This site is on steriods now!! This thing is flying. Great job Don!!:laugh:

Don: Sorry about that!!! I hope you're not cursing me:D

Is this the same server that hosts the rattlesnake cam and the belknap lakes pages?....

Thanks for all of your hard work. You know that we really appreciate it - McD

Just the opposite, I consider the huge PhotoPost data folder and the Forum database to be the major (irreplaceable) assets of the site!
Yes to the Rattlesnakecam, no to Belknap Lakes. I just returned the Rattlesnake CAM site to service. I host about 10 sites on my server and I only have a few left to transfer.

Site Problem
 

Wow! This site is flying faster than those UFO's spotted in Texas last week. What a difference. Thank you for spending your weekend working on the problem. I'm sure there were other things you would have preferred doing.
Great job!

Thank you Don, great job. I can get my forum fix for the day now.

Awesome!
 

Thank You Don,

I was really missing my Forum Fix :):)

Thank You for all you do!! :cheers:

thanks Don
 

Thanks, Don....pretty good for a "part time job!!!!!! :rolleye1:

Thanks Don
 

Thanks Don,

The Forum is fast now.

Of course you can't be left without one complaint SO,,,,,,,

When I logged on today I found I had to sign in again and at my age trying to remember my "password" was a real chore :( Heck, just trying to remember why I got up today was a challenge:D

All kidding aside, the site is running great. Thanks for you efforts to keep us from those "Honey do Lists."

You'll be forgiven if you don't get any work done durring the playoffs. GO PATS

Thanks, Don
 

Playoffs??? What are "playoffs"?? Who is the 'PAT' that everyone talks about?

Thanks, I needed a good laugh...

Anyone who tends one of these forums deserves a medal. But we who use them sure do appreciate all your hard work. Thanks Don.

That's top secret, as they say...

I could tell you; but then I would have to... :eek: :laugh:

That would never do...

Besides, what would all the speed limit proponents use as a medium to verbosely embellish their position, if that were to happen? :rolleye2:

Long live the Webmaster!!! :D

Don, did you break my Dell? It was show shiny and new when I handed it off to you. :D

Is this the server you moved off of?

Thanks Don. It's good to be back. I don't know how you do it, but we all appreciate your time and efforts.

Don,

Having maintained websites, I know the amount of time and effort involved, especially when something like this happens, and I've never managed anything of the scale and size of this site!

Well done as always. Thanks for bringing it back before I had to seek therapy for lake withdrawal symptoms. This is the only thing that keeps it going through these dark days of winter!

Yup,Don is the NE Patriots of webmasters!He's still undefeated in keeping this site the best in the business.Would that make him the Bellichick of the internet?Ok,ya,I'll go with that!

Thanks Don
 

Don your efforts in getting the site back up and saving all of us $$$ for withdrawal therapy*. I know that everyone here more than appreciates your dedication to your "other" job on the best web site anywhere.

Thanks so much.

*I had to take a trip to the lake on Sat since I was suffering web site/lake withdrawal and I just posted 2 photos from that day.

Thanks
 

Don,
Thanks for the new speed. Fastest thing between NH & FL. :D
Last night & this morning I could not get onto the site. I rebooted the computer and that fixed the problem. I guess somewhere in the computer the old site was stored.
:o
Thanks for all the enjoyable hours of keeping in touch with Winnie happenings.

Thank You Don
 

Just wanted to say thanks for maintaining us! You do a wonderful job and I am aprt of other forums for other areas and topics and I have to tell you this one seems to be best maintained and up to date. Sometimes I get fustrated when my 2 cents does not get posted right away, but I know it will be out there. Thank you for all your hard work

Kudos:cheers:
