Welcome to the day from Hell. And no, it wasn't even me that did the conversion.

I realize the site was down for quite a while. I'll offer my own apologies and point a finger at the hosting company that has some ridiculous limits set for their customers.

The conversion took a lot longer than we had anticipated, because of the host. After the conversion was completed, neither Cats or myself could log into the forum. So it was going to take a really long time for us to get in here and get forum permissions set. As in forever?

It was taking a bit of time to get a trouble ticket handled, because it got bumped to the gentleman that did the conversion. And he resides in Italy, so he was finished for the day.

Fortunately, I've struck up an online friendship with Invision's lead coder. I flagged him up on Twitter and within minutes, we were in. Hallelujah!

But now, we have to set up forum permissions for each category, each forum and each sub-forum. Each of which requires 7 mouse-clicks. So we are a l-o-n-g- way from being finished up.

I'm working on it alone for a bit, until Cats can get back in here. She's having computer issues. (Why not, right?)

Just bear with us. We're working as quickly as we can. You'll be seeing more and more of the forums lighting up as we move along.

Thanks for all your patience!

No, we should thank you. It looks nice. Going to take awhile to get used to it. Sorry about your day from hell, and again, the thanks goes all to you and cats.

Day from hell is an understatement. Hang tight people and have some surprises for you all when we get this all fixed..

I think it looks great and don't worry we all understand that good things come to those who wait. Hope the rest of your day is much better.

Welcome back, MIke - it's looking good. And slowly the people will start finding their way back.

Thanks for the work you've put in too.

Try again. My Messenger box needs pruning, but I just increased the limit for the time being. I'll prune it later and reduce the limit in another lifetime, when I have more time. :lol:

The Ignore User option is still there, but you're not going to be right-clicking any more.

I can live with that. Thanks for your hard work and the ignore option. . . . .
