As most of you, Im sure, are aware, the forums were taken down for a few hours tonight. The purpose of the outage was to move the forums from their new server, which is experiencing some issues, to the older server, where they used to be housed. This *should* eliminate the ғWhite screen of death weԒve all been having the last week or so. It will not, however, allow you to use the searchӔ function of the forums. This means, you cant search for new posts using the ғnew posts option.
Additionally, some of the colors and formatting might be just a bit askewԅthe tech guys opted for functionality rather than looks.
There are, more than likely, other issues that I am not aware of, but rest assured, they will be resolved with the repair of the new server.
I want to add also, that there may be future outages, when they move the forums back to their home server. This outage *could* take place during peek time on Monday, or it may take place after business hours, at this point, its unknown.
All we ask at this point, is that you guys hang in there. We are all working very hard to make sure that all of the issues that everyone is currently experiencing are resolved.
As always, please dont hesitate to send me an email or PM regarding any concerns you have.
Thanks for being patient during this difficult time!

Yes, chat is down. There is no ETA on when it will be back in operation.
Like I said above, they opted for functionality, rather than looks...so the colors/format may be off just a bit. I agree, its difficult to readbut it sure beats the heck out of not having a forum to read, at least at this point :)

Just an update:
Tech support is aware of the Database error that members are getting upon trying to post a new thread or a reply to an existing thread. Be aware that your post WILL go thru, even though you are getting the error.
There is no ETA on the current Database Error issue.
Thanks in advance for your understanding during this difficult time,
