Thanks for keeping it running. I know it's a pain every now and then.
Thanks! Not too bad of a pain. Kind of fun in a puzzle-solving way. The old server had been optimized and tweaked to the nth degree and it's just a long process of porting those things over. As fast as the hardware is now, some of that doesn't really matter so much but it'll probably be a work in process underneath for a few week.
The big PITA is migrating the web site's CMS (content management system) up to a newer version. A LOT of stuff will break and things will look like a mess around here for a while. I've been enabled by the continued extensions of the EOL date on our current version. It got pushed back four years because there is such a large installed base. But the newer version will be cool in it's own way.
It mostly works. Everything seems to be ported over. Let me know if anything is wonky. The thumbs up at the top of forum posts seems broken. I'll look into that tomorrow.
It was some wonky thing with Firefox. I don't even know what happened with that but it seems to be working fine now.
