Site upgrade, 06-03-06

[Gary]

Time for another upgrade. The site will be down for (hopefully) short periods today for upgrades to most of the major programs. Because of the large number of custom programs, it may take a while for all the features to upgraded. I'll try to give notice before the shutdown's.
Stay tuned.... -Gary

Forum upgrade beginning in ~5 minutes. Forums will be closed for the upgrade.

Well, that was interesting. Two hours to get the main page back.

I must agree wholeheartedly. There is a wealth of great information here, all you have to do is search. Great advice, good people, from all over the world. A bunch of people from all different walks of life, getting together because of these cars. Yep Jim, you are correct, thanks for all the effort Gary.

When I was in the middle of the upgrade, my elderly mother came over for a visit. she had comments or questions every couple of minutes, making it verrrry difficult to follow the code changes needed for the upgrade. Every time I got to "step 7", I ended up back at "Step 1"

Anyway, the upgrade is done with only minor problems. The next release will be a major upgrade that will make the moderators lives a lot easier.

Thanks for the compliments, guys!
