Important Info - Why we moved to a new host
As you may now realize, we moved 986forum.com to a new hosting location yesterday.
The move itself involved putting the board on entirely new upgraded
software, freshening the appearance, and re-establishing most of the
important links. We are still in the process of debugging the site, but
have corrected most issues.
We made the decision to update all the software at this time because the
new board software is more secure and is scalable as the participation in
986forum grows. Screens will load more quickly, and we have better
administrative controls, thereby permitting more moderator access.
Understanding that the forum move would take some time, we made the choice
of keeping the old site running rather than shutting down for a few days.
This risked the loss of some posts for the days during which the site
database was being transferred to the new format. Since the upgrade process
required 2 sequential version upgrades, it will not be possible to
re-incorporate any posts placed during the period Jan 12 to Jan 16.
You can expect 986forum to be a continually evolving site that will undergo
regular changes, based on your input and ideas.
We appreciate your continuing participation.
Richard Belloff and Richard Kwei (new site owners)
