I now know a bit more about the changes, and without going into any detail I will at some point need to take the forum software "offline" temporarily so as not to lose anything. The gallery too for that matter.
With a bit of luck the time spent offline will be minimal, and if we're really lucky some of you may not even notice any downtime.
Could potentially be some time away though as the hosting provider will be moving each and every site individually (they expect to spend months handling all their customers over to the new servers)
P.S. The hosting was previously based in Los Angeles, California (west coast, GMT -8) and under new ownership the new hosting platform will be in Waltham, Massachusetts (east coast, GMT -5).
On a side note can I please remind everyone that I pay for the domain and hosting myself, and whilst I don't ask for or even expect donations or spontaneous eruptions of gratitude for providing this service (though at this point I'd like to say I'm extremely grateful for Naaman's help within the forum), I do expect everyone to "play nice" and obey a little common sense and employ a certain level of etiquette.
And on the whole this works out very well, which is handy because I don't like hammering out rules and regulations (which often read like a list of prohibitions, and no-one likes being told they're not allowed to do anything).
Take heed of this and I'll be a happy "ZM".......... And I won't need to put anyone in that Yogi suit....
