    Just a quick update. We are back online (somewhat) and moved over to the new server.

    DNS is propigating slow, so alot of people are still seeing the old server.

    If you are reading this, it means you are looking at the new server.

    There may still be some bugs and errors popping up, we havent had time to fully run thru everything to make sure its working. Please be patient, we hope to have those possible errors and some additional goodies working by Monday/Tuesday.

    Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen. More updates soon!

    YEs it is. I keep hitting refresh just to make sure im not dreaming :) 

    It may slow a bit more, because we only have about 33 percent of our normal users on the site due to the DNS changes not being fully completed yet. But overall, shouldnt be near where it was.

    Yay! :)

    I always wondered why the site seemed so much slower than other sites. I didn't realize that an updated server would have such an effect.

    Only looked at two threads so far but it seems good. Does this mean the galleries will be able to come back soon?
