Website Downtime: Saturday, March 3rd, Noon was created by GJSchaller (GJSchaller)
We'll be moving to a new hosting provider for the website this weekend. The plan is to take the server down at Noon on Wed., and move it to its new home, which should take about an hour or two.

I'll be making extra sure no data is lost during the process. The site will go offline, to ensure no posts get accidentally posted during the move and then lost.

If you have problems accessing the site after the move, you may need to A) clear your browser's cache, or B) reboot / clear your computer's DNS to see the new server. In an extreme case, it may take up to 24 hours for your internet provider to see the new server, although this is extremely rare.

Hopefully this will be the end of the recent rash of issues we've been having, technically. I have more plans for the site, but they're good ones. :)

As a quick note, we had one more update to a more powerful server during the event - any issues with "Error 500," images missing from the gallery, etc. should be gone now.

If you see ANY issues with website performance, please post them here. We're on some pretty darn powerful hardware now, so we should see a nice increase in site speed and overall responsiveness.

I currently seem to be unable to see the "my profile" page on one of my web browsers (safari), and a change I made to my signature, which I thought was showing up, suddenly isn't.
