We just switched the forums over to a new server. You should notice that... well, nothing changed. Except some of the functionality that had broken over the years now works again. And it should run a bit faster, although it's been a long time since we had enough users to slow down the server anyway.

Nice work. Thanks TJ!

I'm curious to discover what all hasn't been working for years. I recall PM archiving was one of those items (couldn't make folders to save them in). Hopefully I won't have to do a log in every time after closing the browser now, but I'm used to it so doesn't matter.

Your efforts are much appreciated! :ugeek:

Things that I know were broken:

-Email notifications (for PMs and stuff)
-Search function
-registering a new user (this was a big one)

Ooh, if search ends up working better now, that's excellent! (Google/Bing are good, but the private forums...)

PM notifications is a big deal as well.
