Recovered from Crash - Forums moved to different server
Hello folks,
Our previous host turned out to be the hosting company from hell. Their server was currupting our database over and over again.. after endless support tickets and multiple phone calls.. they finally restored mySQL long enough for us to move all files off to another server..
The site is now loading from a brand new much more stable server..
Keep in mind that the move only finished a few minutes ago. There may well be some bugs... so feel free in reporting such bugs, and we will fix them as they come in.

Avatars aren't functioning, to start with.
Very glad it's on a different server. Very glad she's back up! Thank you.

Ok, no worries.. let this thread be the bug reporting thread.. I'll have my coder check in tomorrow and look into all reported issues.
Lit.org was also moved and that site seems to have more bugs that need fixing.. site is over a decade old and was programmed in a manner which wasn't really compatible except with the previous server.. so there's work still left with lit.org

Great Job Yusef - it's great to be back posting- I hope Lit gets her legs back as well-the old girl would really appreciate it-
Edit: the picture gallery is out.

Thanks for getting things back up. I was starting to get the shakes without my daily fix.

Yes Ox, it's all about you.
Oh well, forced a change of avatar, anyway, and - though early days - everything appears to be running twice the speed I was experiencing pre-crash.

Very nice to wake up and find the forum working. Thanks to all involved for the work in getting WF moved and up again.
