The site appears all different today. Major format change? Did I miss a memo? Something wrong with my browser? Am I in the wrong dimension? Maybe it's just me...
-
No its not you its different.
-
Whew, it is just not me then! I thought my laptop was going to the crapper. One thing I do not like, is you cannot go to the site's home page with all the documented researched stuff. My picture icon is gone, as well. That's progress, I guess?
-
I was hoping this would be *fixed* by today, but... :(
I think/hope this 'new' format is a software glitch? or error? and that it will be repaired soon! We seem to have lost several of the functionalities we had before...
-
The hosting service moved us to a new server.
Let's just say it's not seamless as they promised!
-
Well hopefully it goes smooth from here. I have had trouble getting on today, as I am sure other s have.
-
My older saved link would come up error 404.. Have to go to the homepage then to forums to get here..
-
Thats what happened to me as well. Kurt or anyone else have any insight as to what to expect? is this temporary server or will the site permanently look like this?
-
Also noticed some images now don't show up.....error 404

Looks like the site is moving to a new platform called "simple machines forum".
I also got an error logging in today. It was "error 403 site found but entry not authorized" not the usual error 404 site not found.
Looks like they are working on it. Some notice would have been nice, so I didn't think there was something wrong on my end!
-
It was not us, it was the host.
The forum has always been SMF. Looks like we'll upgrade it to the 2.0 version of SMF while it's messed up.
Not happy, lots of behind the scenes work is required....

I hate technology!

With the forum down for a couple of days, my wife found me in the corner shaking and suffering from terrible withdrawl symptoms,lol!
-
I like the new look overall.

Well as with most things, I like the old site. The CRG logo and different images don't appear for me.
BUT I am glad some form of it is back up.
-
Its no longer all blue. Now its also in Hugger Orange :)
-
'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'... :)
-
Bad case of withdrawal symptoms here!! But I like the new look, good stuff guys! :)

The only thing that stands out are the posted times. I'm in the USA ET zone and the time stamps of current 'Today' topics are a few hours ahead.
No big deal though, it's just an observation.
As of today, 5/22/1015 @ 5:18PM my profile shows

Never mind.....I just had to adjust my time zone by selecting 'auto select' in my profile. It now displays the correct times.

It looks clean and fresh and I can notice the speed has greatly increased Kurt for both the forum software and the webserver.
-

Oh, I see it now. It's a user controlled setting. In my user profile, my Camaro is blue, so the back ground turned blue. Yours is Hugger Orange, so it set the background to that color.
You can change it back to default or custom by going to your user settings: Profile>>Look and Layout>>Modify Profile and then check the box next to: Match Background to user profile vehicle color.
All kidding aside, the new layout is an improvement.
-
like the update...and hey, no charge :)
-
We needed to move to the 2.0 version of the software. There were some glitches in the move, but Doug overcame them.
The 'theme' of the old forum (color and appearance) isn't available in the 2.0, but this look is close. I just need to figure out a few minor settings.
-
Am sure Kurt and others have been extremely busy with the site over the last couple of days, so thank you. Never thought a day or two of CRG down time would prove so hard! Glad it's all back up and running.
