I apologize for the long absence of the Forum. Four hours in computer time can easily stretch to 1 1/2 days, apparently. Thank you for your patience in waiting for the return. I want to thank Ron Rattie, the professional web designer who is volunteering his time to help redesign our site for all his work. I wish it could have been quicker, but a big part of the problem was simply the size of the Forum. This site has been so popular, that it now involves many files of large size... which caused the delays in copying everything to the same server. The move had to be done because in redesigning you want to keep the old site intact... and we needed all the files, for new and old, to be on one server. At some point Ron is going to put the Forum posts from the years 2003-2008 in an archive file. Nothing will be lost, but you will have to access that separately within the Forum. It should make the response time faster for loading the Forum when you log in, read and post. And I am asking him to increase the size of the font here... I know some eyes cannot read it well!

Please thank Ron for VOLUNTEERING his time. That is so kind of him to do so.
Thanks to you too, Richard. I'm sure this was difficult for you as well!

Welcome back. I guess we don't realize how much we rely on this site until it's down for a bit.  He was my hero. He never complained. Passed 11/7/11.
