Most threads arent working. You would think if the website was being updated an announcement would have been made with the dates the site was being taken down for that to happen. The timing could have been better with Norwalk just around the corner.

Would it be possible for the site administrator to post some quick info on the problems, ETA of solution, if members can help, etc. ?

I can't open 99% of the threads at all. Couldn't yesterday, either. Totally blocked.

I was the last to reply to the "Here's what I'm seeing" thread.

In my post I listed links to the 7 or 8 threads from page 1 of the Lobby threads that I could open. All others got the error message.

When I hit Submit Reply, the error message immediately showed up although it appears my Reply did post to that thread.

And now it won't open, although the others that I could open still do open.

Wondered if it was me.

But I searched all threads that I've posted to, several open, so I figure it can't just be me.

Seems like threads will open for a time, then suddenly they don't work anymore.

I noticed that threads in the Members Helping Members forum that have 0 replies WILL open. But that isn't consistent on other forums.

Crossing my fingers that this thread will still open after I hit Submit Reply.

Excellent, they are on it. It can be a nightmare to change providers. All the DNS has to re propagate, all kinds of server extensions to sort out. I can imagine it's horrible for a site this size with the incredible amount of data involved.
Good luck with the work, we need this place.

Funny thing though, My thread is there but when I click on it to reply, I cannot access it. Just a plain white page. Eric will get it fixed.

Yep, working on it, everyone go out and get some garage time while you’re waiting. your cars are calling you, go and spend some quality time with your man caves. all will be back to normal very soon.
