Our apologies for the downtime today. We transferred over to all new software and that is definitely a challenge. We were offline longer than we expected.
All is up and running now. You'll probably see some bugs here and there. We already know there's a problem with the smilies and we're working on it. Anything else you see, please let us know.
The new software was a must. The vendor has discontinued support for the old version and we didn't want to wait any longer to change over. Any and all suggestions on what else you might like to see would be definitely welcomed.
Thanks for your patience.

If you notice, the new software no longer takes you to another "reply" page. It opens a box right below. And if you do a quote, that box opens right below the post you're quoting and above the next one in line. So if there's another post on that page of the thread you might want to reference in your reply, you can scroll to it. Overall it seems to be a nice tradeoff.

Running this upgrade is a little tricky. It's an entirely new version of the software, not just an update. Not everything automatically transfers. The good news is that you don't know exactly what all does and doesn't transfer until you do it. So we get to have a really fun scavenger hunt through the backup of the old site, looking for misplaced items. We will be working on avatars today.

When I did that I saw some files from my Windows temp directory. They're files that have never been uploaded on this site or anywhere else.
