Well, it seems as if our hosting provider CI Host decided to sell off all their shared hosting accounts (including ArloNet) to this other company (X7 Hosting). So they kindly migrated our website to the new company and servers. Frankly, it didn't go smoothly. In fact it's been a major headache since the migration yesterday. Things are broke, things aren't up to date, the web hosting support staff isn't always very helpful. In other words, SHIT IS FUCKED UP AND I'M PISSED!!!

Not only that, but the wonderful folks doing this migration gave me less than 24 hours notice that this was even happening.

I am doing my best to get things back up and working - but it's been a major PITA. I'm still finding what's broken and what isn't working and such. So, if you find something not working or acting weird - please drop a line here to let me know (now that I finally got the forums working again - no help from X7).

Your patience and understanding in this time is greatly appreciated, and I will do my best to get things back up and running ASAP.

As a side note - anyone looking for a web hosting provider, I'd strongly urge you to stay away from both CI Host and X7 Hosting.

Thanks for all your hard work Dave, don't know what we'd do without you. On some topics here I know you might feel like a voice in the wilderness, but none of our voices would be heard here at all if it weren't for your wizardry.......'preciate it lots, Kevin

Ok, the forums seem to be back in working order. And I just brought BlunderChat back from the dead. Now on to the schedule.

Thanks for your great job, Dave. It's now my second time login after the change. I had to answer a question about the Folkslinger both times. In case you wanted to know.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Download live shows is now working... I also know about the question thing... I'll be tweaking that when I get a chance as it shouldn't ask you if you are already logged in. But that's a quirk rather than something broken so it's a little ways down the list.

I wonder if it could be set up where if your a registered member & not a spammer, you don't have to answer the question and can get in quicker? If not no biggie. We hate spammers...
