In the next few days I'll be moving the site to a new server. Our current host has not been very good lately, so I thought it was time for a move to a better server. We'll be hosted by www.tranxactglobal.com. If anyone has heard anything negative about them, please let me know. They seem to be very reliable.

I'm hoping to move us on Monday. The longest wait will be for our domain to be pointed to the new server, that usually takes about 12 hours. I've already started backing up the site, so I'd like to ask the any of you that have a gallery not upload any new pictures until after the move, I don't want anyone to loose anything. I'm going to trying to get the main site moved first before I tackle the forum database to minimize downtime.

I won't be able to move servers as I planned today. I've still got to get some server side stuff set up and our current host is having problems so nothing wants to cooperate with me. I might get it done this afternoon, not sure yet.

Hi. I have a question. I don't know where else to put it, so here goes:
How come some the links don't work? I mean, I tried to click on Glossary, but it said 'OOPS' to me. I found a few things do that. I didn't know if you guys were deleting all of it, or if you maybe just weren't aware, or what....
Anywho, that's all.

Actually, if you have a problem with something there's a forum called problems. And yes, it's because I'm making some changes so I won't have to do it once we move. It's taking me a while, well, because there's only one of me and there's a lot to do and no one else to do it.

It's alright. The glossary thing is fixed, so you can get there now.

I have still not managed to get us moved. I just felt the need to tell you this because maybe it'll motivate me to get it done. My plan of doing it while on Christmas vacation kind of backfired. Ok, there was no kind of, it did. I've been trying to find a way to do it to minimize down time. I'm thinking about calling in to work one day and doing it. Anyway, as soon as I have the time to sit down and do it, I will.
