Hello! I will be taking down the website tonight around 10pm CST. Moving it to the new server and hosting account, where it will then be upgraded to the new version of VBulletin, hopefully resolving the ongoing photo issues.

Please be aware anything you post after this time will be erased after the server moves. It will be best to wait until the forum comes back up.

Will the old photos show up or will they forever be lost?

Hello everyone, the server is finally ready for the site to be moved to it. I have done all the preparation I can, I would like to take the site down soon as I have time to work on it right now, and get it moved.

I will do this about 3pm CST. I estimate the site to be down no longer than 20-30 minutes now that all the preparations have been completed.

Perhaps. As the upgrade is the next step in that direction that will hopefully resolve the problem. Haha

Were we supposed to get a new URL??
Looking at the footer, it still shows Powered by vBulletin® Version 4.2.4?
How do we get to login to the upgraded site with PICs?

No new URL.
We just moved the "site" from one server that was full to the breaking point to a new server with more room.
The vBulletin software upgrade should come in the next few weeks.
Then, uploading pictures directly shall be a reality again.
