Our issue wasn't with the renewal of our wildcart cert (that was done weeks ago), it was with the verification process they have in place. Won't go into more details than that. We're set though, thanks.

Hey all, Sorry about that. I've been trying since Monday to get the new certificate for this server, but our vendor was being very difficult for no apparent reason other than technical issues. All should be good now. Thanks

I had to move the database to a new server which is why the site was down for a couple hours today. Hopefully that helps things at least a little bit.

Just fixed an issue that was preventing new members from signing up.

Update: Things should be better now, but there might still be intermittent slowdowns due to the fact that we need to migrate the forums to a new server. I don't have an ETA on that at this time however. Thanks all.

Hello, I'm aware of some users having trouble connecting to the forums at the moment. I'm looking into a fix. Stay tuned. Thanks

If you are a user that has been hanging on to IE for some reason, you'll probably notice this site (like many other sites on the internet) no longer functions properly for you. We've ended support for IE on our websites. Please use any one of a number of modern browsers like: Microsoft Edge Google Chrome Mozilla Firefox Apple Safari Thanks

Hello, Due to the recent forum maintenance, some of the older forum themes may look a bit odd in places. I've installed a new Dark theme that fans of darker theme colors can now use. To switch your preferred theme, scroll to the bottom of the window, click "Theme", then choose "Dark Theme (2021)". The older themes will stay around for the time being, but I do not plan on updating those in the future. Thanks all!

yeah you can only edit your own posts. 😉

Look for the 3 dots in the upper-right corner of your post. That's a menu that should contain "Edit"

Current sluggishness is mostly related to a reindexing of most database data due to the software upgrade. Could be a day or two before things get better. Sorry all!

The main issue is we are getting a ton of traffic from over 1000 Russian IP addresses, probably trying to DDOS the site. I'm attempting to mitigate. Step one was upgrading the forum software which was about 2 years overdue. Obviously there is more to do.

Thanks. I'm on it. There will probably be some site downtime while I work on this.

This is because when I banned him, I also deleted all of his content including PMs.

There will always be some that slip through the cracks unfortunately. I'll deal with this. Thanks all.
