Site updates, possible outage ...

Unread post by davesmith_au » Sat Mar 18, 2023 3:05 am

Hi folks. It has once again become essential that the thunderbolts site including the forum, be migrated to another server. Whilst this work is occurring, there may be times when either the main site, or the forum, will appear offline or to not function correctly. We hope any inconvenience is minimal, and ask for your patience whilst any bugs get ironed out. Many thank.

UPDATE:

On Monday, March 27 the forum and the TB site will start the migration process to a new server. It could take 3-5 days to complete.
Expect some delays and glitches until all the work is complete.
It is possible that any new posts made between March 27-31, 2023 may not be transferred.

Dave Smith, that was a beautiful tribute you shared at the Celebration of Wal Thornhill. It was so touching, and so honoring.

Thank you !

The transfer of the Forum to the new server is still in progress.
So, I would recommend that you back up any posts for which you invested a lot of time and research. There is a possibility that there could be some outages and loss of posts made during this time.
Stay tuned.
