The site appears all different today. Major format change? Did I miss a memo? Something wrong with my browser? Am I in the wrong dimension? Maybe it's just me...

No its not you its different.

Whew, it is just not me then! I thought my laptop was going to the crapper. One thing I do not like, is you cannot go to the site's home page with all the documented researched stuff. My picture icon is gone, as well. That's progress, I guess?

I was hoping this would be *fixed* by today, but...

I think/hope this 'new' format is a software glitch? or error? and that it will be repaired soon! We seem to have lost several of the functionalities we had before...

The hosting service moved us to a new server.
Let's just say it's not seamless as they promised!

Well hopefully it goes smooth from here. I have had trouble getting on today, as I am sure other s have.

My older saved link would come up error 404.. Have to go to the homepage then to forums to get here..

BULLITT65 · May 19, 2015, 02:47:49 PM

Thats what happened to me as well. Kurt or anyone else have any insight as to what to expect? is this temporary server or will the site permanently look like this?

Looks like the site is moving to a new platform called "simple machines forum".

I also got an error logging in today. It was "error 403 site found but entry not authorized" not the usual error 404 site not found.

Looks like they are working on it. Some notice would have been nice, so I didn't think there was something wrong on my end!

It was not us, it was the host.
The forum has always been SMF. Looks like we'll upgrade it to the 2.0 version of SMF while it's messed up.
Not happy, lots of behind the scenes work is required....

I hate technology!

With the forum down for a couple of days, my wife found me in the corner shaking and suffering from terrible withdrawl symptoms,lol!

I like the new look overall.

Well as with most things, I like the old site. The CRG logo and different images don't appear for me.

BUT I am glad some form of it is back up.
