I apologize for the recent downtime. The forum software people pushed an update that failed, and it took several days to fix. They have re-issued the update so I was finally able to finish the task.
They are pushing everyone to their "cloud solution" at a much higher cost, which I am resisting. I may have to change software, but I want to avoid that; it's a painful, time consuming process that takes days to migrate all the posts, images, etc.
Anyway, we're back. I will wait at least a week before applying any non-emergency updates from now on.
