(passe) Lathe Trolls MAINTENANCE TONIGHT!

[Steve E.]

Dear all:

I am finally moving this site off phpbbweb.com. I will be hosting it on a site that allows much better administration of the data. It is my hope that the registration process will be less glitchy, and that the data will be backed up in a safer and more frequent manner.

There may be some brief downtime while the site moves. I will do my best to minimize this. But don't panic if it seems to disappear briefly. It will be back!

The web address will change. That is to say, https://lathetrolls.com will cease to be the address.
You should be able to use http://lathetrolls.com. If, for any reason, that ceases to work for a little while, https://lathetrolls.com should bring you to the correct address.

It is my intent that any cross-referencing url links to other threads on the site will continue to work. There is a chance that they will be tangled for a day or two. I'd imagine that Google might take a little while to catch up cataloging the threads.

Your login username and password will not change. Your private message mailbox will contain your messages.

The site might LOOK slightly different, as it will be phpBB3 instead of phpBB2. But there will be no radical changes in the organization of the site.

I will do my best to warn you when the move is eminent. Feel free to check in with me by PM if you are concerned that the timing of the downtime might interfere with any transactions you are carrying out on the site. I will do my best to keep you in the loop and help your planning.

I've been rehearsing the migration using a backup, to make this transition as brief and glitch-free as possible. Fingers crossed, the site will be better than ever in 2013!

I wouldn't want to see any HG Wells war of the worlds type situation here..

I am planning to move the site tonight. It will offline for a few hours, probably starting around 9 pm New York Time (EST). Fear not. It should be back in business by Thursday January 17. If things go disasteriously, I will reinstate the old board until the bugs are worked out, but I don't foresee a major problem. Catch you on the other side!!

[Steve E.]

Ta da!! We are in our new home! Please email me and report any problems. I'm sure there are little configuration snafus here and there.

The new site looks great!
I think I'll still have to get used to it.... but I'm almost there.
